Please join the Carrollton-Farmers Branch English Language Arts/Reading Department in celebrating literacy and Black History Month by attending our first African American Read-in on Monday, February 22, 2016. You and your students are invited to come and read a poem, a short story, an excerpt of a selection, a dramatic rendition written by an African American, or you can come and listen to others read and share.
Elementary students read and listen from 5:45-6:30 p.m.
Middle and high school students read and listen from 6:45-7:30 p.m.

The African American Read-in is built on an ambitious yet confident premise that a school and community reading event can be an effective way to promote diversity in children’s literature, to encourage young people to read, and to shine a spotlight on African American authors.
