CFEC Literacy Project

Our CFEC team has also created two resources for families and students seeking to diversify their at-home library and to learn more about online assistance available to strengthen literacy skills.

Readers Are Leaders

These literacy resources are a collection of online tools for families to learn more about supporting the literacy development of early and elementary readers, as well as students in middle and high school.

Embracing Diversity in Literature

These resources suggest books for a range of reading levels that feature characters and authors representative of student and family diversity. These stories include those for and about African American and Black, Indigenous and Native, and Latino/a and Latinx readers, as well as readers with special needs and disabilities.
