Literacy and education in the Mid-South continues to be a top - TopicsExpress



          

Literacy and education in the Mid-South continues to be a top Mid-South priority. Problems with learning to read in the pre-Kindergarten through Third Grade years lead to challenges with reading to learn in the later years. Low reading scores in grade school are all too often predictors of late high school graduation or dropping out altogether. This leads to problems securing gainful employment, which increases our Mid-South poverty rates. Were glad to see Mayor A C Wharton and the City of Memphis continuing to elevate efforts to improve learning and literacy, and stand with our local partners to use your support to make a difference.
