#WeNeedDiverseBooks
As a literacy advocate, learned a long time ago that the best way to get girls reading is to get them interested in a series book. Once they realize the joy of reading, they will seek out books they want to read independently. I highly recommend getting girls hooked on reading beginning in first grade through seventh grade. Series books are the best way to keep the fire lit on a child's desire to continue reading. For girls of color, the same rules apply. The issue is finding books they can read that reflect their images.
Happy Reading!
