I have seen “Woke Read Alouds: They, She, He Easy as ABC” in some of my classes previously as well as other woke kindergarten videos, and have really enjoyed how Ki talks and explains all about pronouns, and names and even explains the title, author, and illustrators in the book itself. I think it is a great way for kids to start to understand pronouns and how others may want to be called something different. Being able to ask others what they like to be called is a great way to understand how unique everybody is. Ki talked about picking pronouns and names that make you feel good. Ki is also explaining that if we do forget one’s pronouns, to call them by their name. As long as we are trying our best and being kind. I also love how each letter in the book describes a child with different interests and how all of the kids are not able-bodied. It is showing young children that all children and different and unique and the main goal is to love and respect everyone as well as feel good inside. We are a contributing factor to making people feel good no matter what age, but I love that we are explaining this to the youth about diversity.
I am surprised that the RI Laws and Policies on Gender and how helpful they are especially as of currently in the United States. Having teachers and staff that understand and are able to support your needs are important no matter what you may be going through. We should be able to be our true selves anywhere but although that is not possible, I think having school and a place where you can be accepted is so important and can see why books like “They, She, He Easy as ABC” are so important.
