Information on how each title reflects multiculturalism and “children like me” aspects can be found in the Text Complexity Analysis. UNPARALLELED ACCESS TO AUTHENTIC, CULTURALLY RELEVANT TEXTS We believe that every child deserves to read and can read authentic trade books. That’s why Scholastic Literacy incorporates real books by acclaimed authors into every area of the literacy block. If we only provide children with texts exclusively designed for instruction in school, we risk children believing that real, engaging, and authentic books are not for them. The more we can expose children to quality literature and nonfiction, the more we can help them build confidence as capable and engaged independent thinkers, readers, and learners.
