This December, the Mad for Reading program shines a spotlight on Disability/Ability Awareness with a curated book list that celebrates diverse abilities and promotes empathy, understanding, and inclusivity.

At the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD), we believe that literacy is the key to unlocking the world around us. Through the Mad for Reading program, we are excited to engage the Madison community in this powerful journey of learning, imagination, and growth.

This month’s book list features stories that amplify the voices of those with disabilities, offering new perspectives, fostering compassion, and sparking important conversations. Let’s come together to honor the brilliance in every individual and strengthen our shared commitment to literacy and inclusion.

Stay tuned for more exciting ways to get involved this month, and let’s make this December one to remember!
