As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we encourage families and educators to instill the important message that women’s history is an integral part of American and global history, all while practicing essential reading skills to succeed in school and beyond.

Reading Partners knows that the voices of women have not always been at the forefront of history, even though women have always been shaping history. But representation matters. Books with diverse perspectives, characters, and heroines give kids a chance to see parts of themselves in the story, rather than looking from the outside in.
