Over the past year across the country, educators have altered lesson plans and curricula to address racial injustice, historically and today.

Educators have used targeted intervention and innovative tech approaches and offered social-emotional support.

This year, it is more important than ever to make reading a part of every child’s summer, especially underserved children and teens, according to librarians.

These curated playlists for elementary, middle, and high school students feature dozens of podcasts that embrace the 2021 Collaborative Summer Library theme, Tails and Tales.

Many schools and libraries host fiction-focused book clubs, but it’s important to keep young info-lovers in mind, too. If a nonfiction book club seems like a good fit for the children at your school, why not give it a try. Here are some tips for getting started.

Banned Books Week has its first Honorary Chair; two titles created from The 1619 Project will be released in November; free webinars on teaching Juneteenth and reopening institutions after COVID vaccines; and more in this edition of News Bites.

Featuring poets from Amanda Gorman to Kenn Nesbitt and offering inspiring writing prompts, these shows have something for every student.
