Literacy and access to quality literacy instruction and resources is an issue of equity and an issue of social justice. Being literate represents the difference between inclusion in and exclusion from society. Examining how literacy experiences are being provided to children is critical to fulfilling this basic human right. This guide--written specifically for teachers and reading/literacy specialists, administrators, school and public librarians, families and caregivers, and policymakers--includes several recommended action items for those in each of the aforementioned groups as well as suggestions for how to accomplish the actions and ensure the rights to read are met across the globe. This guide can be used individually or as a conversation starter with colleagues and members of the reader's community.
