Diversity Matters. Representation Matters. Your New York City Reading Curriculum Matters.

Students from around the globe fill the classrooms of the five boroughs every day. Every one of these students has a story, and all those stories contribute to make NYC the city we love, the most diverse large city in the US. NYC remains the example for the rest of the world to follow because we are a beautiful, ever-changing tapestry of interwoven stories—stories that matter.

Our students deserve to see themselves in their learning materials and learn about the stories of their classmates. The Science of Reading-based Magnetic Reading for Grades 3–5 is specifically built on Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Teaching that flows throughout everything in the program. Culturally rich and responsive texts and instruction validate and affirm students of all backgrounds and help them see themselves as an essential part of a thriving community of cultures and ideas. Isn’t that what NYC does best?

Because every NYC student matters.
