It’s no secret that 2020 has been longer-than-long thanks to the global pandemic and novel virus known as COVID-19. We also know that many families face tough decisions surrounding the upcoming school year, which is likely to be a hybrid of in-person and distance learning education.
For homeschoolers, it’s pretty much business as usual. With one exception: there will likely be less out-of-home-classroom field trips and outings due to safety concerns.
Reading is always an essential part of our children’s lives, no matter what the time of year. With that in mind, we’ve decided to share our knowledge of fun multicultural books and activities to create a unique resource for homeschooling parents looking for creative ways to keep their kids busy and learning during the next school year.
We understand that reading, in general, is important. However, we also are keenly aware that young readers learn about other cultures, religions, and traditions through the pages of the books they read. Here are some great book lists and resources that MCBD has pulled together that will give homeschooling parents and readers great ideas on diverse kids’ books, but also fun activities related to books that will bring stories to life!
