Presented by CEC Pioneers & CEC DDEL

Engaging reluctant readers through selected literature creates a classroom climate of acceptance and belonging. As teachers, our choice of literature acknowledges children as valued learners and promotes inclusivity of dis/Abilities, diversity, and cultural relevance across curriculum materials.

Strategies to teach literacy using the home and community environments and to promote family engagement will be presented. These sessions, presented by teachers active in the field, explore practical and successful strategies that invite readers to “see themselves and others” within the literature we select. Participants will receive links to resources available.
