Read outside Your Bubble

Engage students in learning about diversity and inclusion to improve literacy and build a better world

It's easy to get stuck in our bubbles-the spaces where our worldviews are confirmed, and we encounter people and scenarios that are reflections of ourselves. Being in a bubble can be comforting, but as we work toward a more equitable world, we need to challenge ourselves and our students to step outside our comfort zones. Students can learn, grow, and change when we "pop" their bubbles and expose them to the literature of other times, cultures, races, origins, and communities.

Read Outside Your Bubble is a practical, research-backed guide to developing reading curricula that introduces students to diverse literature, teaches them to draw conclusions from their reading, and encourages them to grow into resilient, compassionate human beings.

This isn't just a book to help introduce learners to new people and life perspectives-it's a vital step to celebrating our differences, embracing our communities, and discovering how we can cultivate connections for generations to come.

"This book is a powerful call to step outside our comfort zones and confront the limitations of our own perspectives. Through the lens of 'bubbles,' Nita brilliantly explores how learning, unlearning, and reading beyond our familiar narratives opens doors to a richer, more inclusive world. A must-read for anyone ready to expand their view of humanity and education."
