Hathway Graded Readers incorporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with high interest graded content, and art.
- Hathaway Graded Readers support teaching and learning diversity and inclusivity.
- Diversity acknowledges the range of differences in a classroom.
- Inclusion embraces these differences.
By Grade 3, developing readers begin connecting with characters in the stories they read. These characters need to look like them and interact with other people that look like their friends or other people in their environment. Hathaway Graded Readers make these connections.
Classrooms should be mutually respectful and inclusive of all students. Stories that invite discussions in which students express their opinions with sensitivity, courtesy and respect for others are the perfect medium to bring diversity and equity into your classroom.
Hathaway Graded Readers are written with this in mind. Across multiple genres, these readers provide high-interest graded content that will inspire discussion on a variety of themes while at the same time enriching students’ language abilities. They also provide a robust student and teacher support package.
