Martí’s Song for Freedom Teacher’s Guide
Our release and popularity of the Social Activism Diverse Reading List has got us thinking over here at LEE & LOW about the importance of sharing Social Activism resources with educators. Social Activism, especially in this volatile political climate, is necessary in inspiring students to enact change in their own communities.

Calling all ELL and dual language educators! Join us for a FREE webinar next week launching our Más Piñata line of leveled readers and exploring the benefits of dual language leveled reading.
