By purchasing culturally diverse books for the middle school ELA classroom library, this project provides an opportunity for students to see themselves in literature. It will assist in social emotional learning as students are able to relate to books and see how others grapple with issues. The goal of more diverse books is to provide “mirrors, windows, and ladders” for students to see themselves reflect in classroom materials as well as a deeper understanding of others’ experiences.
