Heading Home 6-Pack

After many years, Grandma is finally moving back to the reservation. While she’s loved finding a new community, she can’t wait to return home! This 6-Pack of fiction text cards is part of Culturally Authentic and Responsive Texts, a collection curated by Dr. Sharroky Hollie. Each text in this collection builds literacy while engaging sixth grade students in meaningful cultural connections.
