Back to School Read Aloud Activities 20 Diversity and Social Justice Read Alouds

20 BACK TO SCHOOL read aloud resources! This collection of resources was put together to address the Social Justice Standards and encourage teaching tolerance in the classroom. We all strive to create and build a loving, caring classroom community each year. These reading resources provide access to some of those tough social justice conversations. 

Included with the list of social justice standards, and 20 read aloud books, there is a simple reading response page and home to school connection letter for families and caregivers. The home to school connection letter provides a QR code for families and caregivers to access the read aloud along with a brief summary, lesson of the story and discussion questions. 

Each purchase of this product also earns a copy of the 20 social justice standards posters to display and revisit in your classroom. Enjoy! (Link inside product)
