Banned Books Week usually occurs during the last week of September, but an awareness of banned books should exist year round. According to We Need Diverse Books, "the top 10 most challenged books for 2020 include themes of racial justice, stories centered around BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ content. Of the top 10 most challenged books, 70% were by authors from marginalized groups."
Students should not be denied the opportunity to read books that mirror their own experiences or create windows into the experiences of others. Below you'll find banned or challenged books recommended by middle and high school ELA teachers for you to feature in your classroom library.
