In the News: LMS helps community achieve literacy skills

We are proud to have been featured for our work with Alcy Elementary and Steel Warehouse, showcasing our work to provide literacy support and resources across the lifespan. Additionally, WREG presented LMS with a check for $1,000!

“We are working on saturating our community with literacy resources and skills across the lifespan for Memphians,” said John Nichols, interim CEO of Literacy Mid-South. “I think a misconception about literacy is that somehow the individual is at fault for that literacy gap when in actuality there is a whole host of possible reasons why that could exist. A lot of times there are systemic reasons that exacerbate these issues that really aren’t about someone’s poor choices. It’s really about, you know, a societal gap that is needing to be supported.”

Thank you to WREG for covering this story and the importance of advancing literacy in our community, from the classroom to the workplace and beyond. Read the full story.
