A site, developed by Lakeisha Johnson, to promote language and literacy skills through diverse children's literature.

We Need Diverse Books strives to diversify the publishing industry and make bookshelves more equitable- all to promote literacy, build empathy and reduce bias.

The Diverse BookFinder is a comprehensive collection of children’s and young adult books featuring Black and Indigenous Peoples and People of Color (BIPOC).

The training will equip educators with the evidence-based knowledge and tools to UFLI to advance the foundational literacy skills of students.
In partnership with EdLighten Solutions we are facilitating an evidence-based early literacy professional learning community for faculty in Educator Preparation Programs in Massachusetts.
This PLC was established as part of MA DESE's commitment to advancing evidence-based, culturally and linguistically sustaining early literacy practices across the state.
For more information, please contact us!

We are a Massachusetts based non-profit, run by volunteers. We are dedicated to supporting educators in their knowledge of effective, evidence-based literacy practices.

We are certified by the State of Massachusetts's Supplier Diversity Office.

We are reading a series of articles on how to effectively teach our wonderfully diverse range of students. See the list of articles we are reading and discussing during the coming school year.
