“Instead of trying to make kids love reading, why not make reading important in their daily lives, and then trust that reading will be loved in the only way that really matters—they’ll use it when it meets their needs. “

Because majority of students are locked out of advanced coursework opportunities (i.e., gifted and talented, AP, IB), bring advanced coursework to all classes. Do not allow longstanding structures to foreclose that which will add benefit to all students' educational experiences.

Restorative literacy is part of restorative justice. Many kids sit in classrooms daily w/ perpetrators of "soft" reading violence that will forever alter the course of their inalienable rights. We must make it difficult for kids to be underserved during reading instruction - AWT

“Diverse literature, often oriented toward justice-related themes, affords occasions for students to question, relate to, and analyze important issues and identify a shared human experience.” https://t.co/CMLkB7zjhT
