Reading Literacy: JOIN THE FIGHT FLYER This flyer was developed by Southern Echo and the MS Delta Catalyst Roundtable to empower education stakeholders to begin working together to impact the state’s “3rd grade” literacy efforts. Literacy is a fundamental right that has for too long been denied for too many. |

Reading Literacy: A Fundamental Right Too Long Denied in Mississippi, a Southern Echo Brown Paper Reading Literacy is one of the ultimate gatekeepers in our society. It is a policy legacy that began during the slavery period and was carried forward during the Jim Crow era. It is time to remove the gate to let everyone across. The core goal of the Mississippi 2013 Literacy-Based Promotion Act is to generate universal on-grade reading literacy for every student in Mississippi by the 3rd grade. Or so one would think by reading the Act. Reading Literacy: A Fundamental Right Too Long Denied in Mississippi contains both a brief historical analysis of where we have been, where we are, and where we need to go, and a detailed provision-by-provision analysis of the 2013 Mississippi Literacy-Based Promotion Act. |
