Ten Reading Passages Celebrating African Americans

Hello colleagues, February is African American history month, and I'm sure many teachers will focus some lessons on this important aspect of US history. Koye Oyadeji has posted ten passages, including poetry from various writers as well as fiction and non-fiction pieces at different grade levels on the CommonLit website. This site is free but requires registration. If you are looking for texts to use in February, this blog post is great.

Please feel free to tell us how you are approaching African American history. Also, please let us know about other resources you can recommend.

Cheers, Susan Finn Miller
