Reading for Action: Engaging Youth in Social Justice Through Young Adult Literature by Ashley S. Boyd, Janine J. Darragh

4.0

I admittedly skimmed some sections of this book because the way it’s set up (with each chapter focused on a different injustice in society) meant that I had more to learn in certain chapters than others. I really liked the easy application for teachers of the Before, During, After activities, as well as how each chapter included text and media pairings. It was a 4/5 for me only because some of the texts/activities might be for a different target audience than my Honors sophomores. However, a great and applicable read for any teacher hoping to start social justice conversations and action in their classroom!
