Description: The DIG checklist from Kids Inclusive and Diverse Media Action Project (KIDMAP) provides professionals with a handy tool to help them identify inclusive children’s media. The checklist can be adjusted for higher reading levels but provides a good starting rubric tool for those looking for an idea of what they should consider when reviewing materials for inclusion. This tool can also assist those looking to create materials or activities for use in the classroom or community.
