Reading for transformation...for kids (& Teens!)
Speaking Down Barriers created Reading for Transformation for Kids (and Teens) to increase generational literacy in our community.
Join the Speaking Down Barriers as we engage kids in reading books that are fun and that confront anti-blackness. The books we read will have non-majority people as the major character in the them. We will read books that move toward building anti-racist worlds where equity is the norm.
Our facilitators plan activities to engage the children during the reading sessions. These activities are tied in with the chosen book for that session. Some activities are created for the children to complete before the reading while others are made for the session. Each child who is registered will receive a copy of the book and all related materials for the activities.
It is the hope of Speaking Down Barriers that these readings will engage adults as well towards an understanding of the transformation that must take place within us and around us. We are working towards ending oppression and co-creating an equitable society. Let's read and grow together!
