The Importance of Reading in Earnest
Until recently, reading instruction for early grades has focused on fiction. However, the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards both emphasize the reading of nonfiction texts to gain specific skill sets for analyzing information. Research has shown that gifted students and children with culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds may find nonfiction texts more engaging to their interests than fiction. Nonfiction can activate prior learning and encourage students to learn to categorize and synthesize information, especially when combined with scientific inquiry. In this article, the authors explore the new standards-based emphasis on reading nonfiction, the skills built by students’ reading nonfiction with a focus on gifted students from culturally/linguistically different and economically disadvantaged families, and we share one approach to including nonfiction in elementary classrooms through the U-STARS~PLUS Science & Nonfiction Connections, a program for recognizing and supporting underrepresented gifted populations.

Alfonso Jones Matters
Medina shares how he constructed a protagonist for his graphic novel, I Am Alfonso Jones, that encapsulates the quest for justice at the heart of the Black Lives Matter movement. In the book, he created a relatable protagonist where the past and the present collide, thrusting him into the afterlife in order to bear witness to his own death at the hands of the police. In so doing, he attempted to go beyond the overwhelming statistics of victims of police violence and the stockpile of Black bodies, beyond the hashtags and 24-hour exploitative news loops, to have a seminal Black character who testifies on his own behalf. His intention was to interrogate the interiority of a thriving Black boy who is suddenly--and literally--yanked from his life by fear that sometimes manifests in racism, leading to poor judgment, aggressive policing, and, unfortunately, injury and/or death.
