March is International Quilt Month - Celebrate with ReadWorks and The International Quilt Museum

March isn't just the month where winter slowly transitions into spring, or when Irish heritage is celebrated on Saint Patrick’s Day, or Women’s History is in the spotlight. Although, we have texts for all of those topics as well. March is also a time when the vibrant and intricate world of quilting takes center stage. In partnership with experts at the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska we have a number of texts for your students to listen to or read for grades K-12. Honor tradition and creativity of past generations through quilting with these free high-quality reading materials!
