As we conclude The Power of Print Lunch and Learn Week, we are honored to welcome Dr. Lakeisha Johnson, a nationally respected researcher, Assistant Professor at Florida State University, Director of The Village at the Florida Center for Reading Research, and founder of Maya’s Book Nook. Dr. Johnson is widely recognized for her work on language and literacy development in African American children, dialect and identity, and the critical role of representation in reading materials. Her research‑practice partnerships and community‑centered advocacy have made her one of the most influential voices in literacy equity today. During this powerful closing edWebinar, Dr. Johnson builds on the themes introduced by Dr. Louisa Moats and Dr. Susan Neuman, weaving together the Science of Reading, access to print, and the lived experiences of children. She explores why representation in books is not simply a matter of inclusion—it is a matter of equity, opportunity, and belonging. This edWebinar will be of interest to K-8 teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.
