Dr. Rudine Bishop has described books as “mirrors, windows, & sliding glass doors.” Our students need diverse books, both to learn from & read, so everyone can have mirrors, windows, & sliding glass doors. Hear more about how diverse book choice & access can create a more effective Reading Workshop experience for ALL students.
