The Need for Women's Education 6-Pack

In some countries around the world, women and girls are prevented from going to school. Learn how advocates are trying to change that! This 6-Pack of nonfiction 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.
