Last week we hosted Journey Forward Mentoring group. We discussed the book deserts & importance of building a reading culture. Students were gifted a browsing experience, and selected books of their choice to take home and start their own libraries.

Join us next week at the Dallas Museum of Art for a conversation with author Xochitl Gonzalez.

ig saw it first, but another starred review for Canto Contigo! booklist calls it “another masterpiece about queer youth redefining traditional customs in Texas” and “a sweet love story with the positive message that not all change is bad.” ❤️

I don’t know who needs to hear this… Teaching a literacy curriculum program like a script, lesson-by-lesson, to all kids without considering their current interests, abilities, and needs: - is not scientific - drains the joy out of learning - leads to inequities

Thanks for the feature KERA News keranews.org/news/2024-04-1…
