6th Grade Digital Library

Description: The 6th Grade Digital Library Page was created in 2016 and it includes peer reviewed stories based on meeting the criteria of being culturally relevant reading resources. This means that these texts celebrate and brings awareness to the diverse backgrounds, knowledge, and experiences of the different students that learn in our classrooms on a daily basis (Ladson-Billing, 1994). Students used a Read Write Think adapted Cultural Relevance Rubric to evaluating the books and selecting them.

For additional reading resources please download this Culturally Relevant Book List created by the students based on their findings. Students also recorded themselves reading certain books so that younger students learning to read could stay access the material by listening to their peer read the story.
