[LM_NET] Target: Easy Readers With African American Characters

[Julie Potvin <jkpotvin12@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi Everyone,
   
  I am new to this listserv and this is my first post. I am currently a classroom 
teacher working on a library science degree.
   
  Our school has had some changes in its demographics lately and we are realizing 
we need to do some updating in our library. One hole is easy readers with African 
American characters. The level our library specialist and reading specialist used 
as an example would be Henry and Mudge. It would be nice to get some names of 
series in addition to any other ideas you all have. One of my professors has given 
us some great ideas, but I thought I would also ask here since it is obviously a 
great place to seek information.
   
  I appreciate any help you can send my way. I will post a hit if I can figure out 
how to do so. Thank you in advance!
