In partnership with Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading\, Embracing our Differences conducts “Bucket Fillers Reading days” with pre-selected age appropriate books. These reading days celebrate literacy through a wide variety of books that focus on themes of inclusion\, kindness\, and respect; stimulating conversation about what we share and what makes us unique. This is a wonderful activity where we all have a chance to enjoy giving back and being together. We may even be surprised when one of our members chooses to read aloud the books we are prepping!
