Diversity+Resource+Guide

=Diversity Resource Guide = =[|Multicultural Children's Literature] = This website provides links to hundreds of annotated bibliographies of multicultural children's books that are appropriate for kindergarten to 6th grade students. The culture groups listed are African Americans, Chinese Americans, Latino/Hispanic Americans, Japanese Americans, Jewish Americans, Native Americans, and Korean Americans, and the books are further categorized into the genres of realistic fiction, information (non-fiction), traditional literature, biography, historical fiction, poetry, and fantasy. The books are clearly designated as to which grade level for which it would be best suited. Within each culture group section there are also many links to outside websites that would be useful for the classroom. If you find a book that you like, there is a convenient link to amazon.com where you can purchase that book for your classroom.

This resource would be especially beneficial for the curriculum of the younger grade levels since reading aloud is heavily incorporated to help the students learn to read. By compiling such a vast library of multicultural books in one easy-to-access place, the authors of this website have left teachers with no excuse not to incorporate multicultural books in their curriculums.
