The #coronavirus pandemic caused us to change the way we did things, if we didn't stop doing them altogether! Our partner in Delaware, United Way Delaware, adapted remarkably, and we salute them. See the interview we did with them. myveryownlibrary.uchicago.edu/2021/04/22/stu… #MVOL #literacy

Great story from Tony Dokoupil of CBS Mornings, who interviewed Renée Watson. #MVOL agrees wholeheartedly with the metaphors: Books are a foundation, windows, mirrors, and seeds "that you want to nurture and grow over that child's life." bit.ly/3BPBx7K #literacy

In addition to presenting culturally reflective characters to young readers, books as windows can also teach kids how to problem-solve. #MVOL leader Duane Davis, exec. dir. of K12 education initiatives at The University of Chicago, teaches this quick lesson. (Uses teacher's voice. 🙂) #literacy

They were the best of times... well, they were interesting times. A silver lining: the ways in which we loved each other. Todd Barnett of UChicago Charter School gives a glimpse of the student-teacher love shown during #pandemic book distributions. #MVOL #literacy #scholasticbookfair

MVOL promotes intergenerational #literacy and encourages families to read together, to talk about reading, and to do other activities related to books and the written word. Our exec. dir. Duane Davis recorded his experience as a little reader growing up with readers. Take a look.
