Reading is a Human and Civil Right
our mission & Vision
We will partner to train teachers, leaders, and support schools toward literacy excellence.
Our training and support covers teacher content knowledge, curriculum, RTI, instructional practices, and literacy coaching—so that students taught by MLI-trained and supported teachers are reading at grade level.
The goal is that every school in Memphis would implement research-based literacy best practices and be equipped for literacy success such that every student in Memphis would experience the dignity and equity of reading on grade level.
