Read Aloud Books + Discussion Q's (Diversity, Inclusion, Black Lives Matter)

Today more than ever, children need diverse, inclusive, and inspiring books. This collection of twelve stories cover various PSHE themes but all feature black characters in the forefront - boys, girls, and some historical figures. I’m currently teaching at a Scottish affiliated International School in China so getting books ordered can be a challenge and accessing YouTube also an issue. I made this resource to side-step those difficulties. The read aloud stories are embedded but are all freely available on Youtube, and then I added some discussion questions to accompany each book. Not a replacement for physical texts by any stretch but hopefully a starting point to engage students, and easy to use for teachers. The resource could be used for whole-class story-time, or for students to work through in small groups, or as a way for students to access these texts for home learning. Ultimately, I hope it will lead to some rich discussion and fruitful conversations with your students.
