Module 19 Video/Resource Response

My biggest takeaway from this video was the quote, “children will read when they feel a connection to the book”.  This is a great reminder that teachers and librarians need to carefully select the books and resources taught so that they reflect the population of the school.  In order for students to be engaged in the material, they need to feel like their unique life experiences are seen and valued.  This sensitivity to the cultures we serve and educate will go a long way in achieving academic success.
