Think back to the last good book you read. Did you visit a new place? Meet new people? Learn a new language? 

Today on the podcast Lester Laminack and Katie Kelly want students and teachers to learn the ways that reading can change lives. In their new book Reading to Make a Difference, Lester and Katie build a framework for diverse and inclusive literature practices that encourage students to seek out new experiences while also validating their own identities. They write that books give us the “ability to gain new perspectives, the freedom to think for ourselves, and the power to choose what to do with our new insights.”
