Equity, diversity and inclusion can and should be a regular part of early literacy programming, not just a theme reserved for holidays or heritage months. From books to music, there are many opportunities to organically incorporate multicultural and multilingual aspects into storytime to engage children and their caregivers. This session will cover how to effectively select and use diverse early literacy activities for today's modern child that will help them reflect, expand and understand their experiences as part of the larger world. Participants will leave this session with a better understanding of evaluating resources for authenticity and appropriateness as well as strategies and practices for including them into their programming.​
