Resources

To support a lifetime of learning, we understand it’s essential to equip people with the right tools. Our wide range of resources are designed for learners of all ages, in addition to the many individuals and organizations who provide literacy tutoring and community programming for children and adults.

Family Resources

The best way to make literacy fun for children is to learn as a family! We make it easy with interactive read aloud videos and reading guides and activities to use at home or on-the-go. Plus, the Memphis Reading Checkup provides simple-to-use quizzes and assignments to make sure your child is on track, and the Lit Families Webinar Series brings families together from across the Mid-South to get helpful tips and tools.

Adult Tutoring Resources

We appreciate our volunteer tutors so much, so we assembled an assortment of resources to help make their job easier! Find helpful worksheets, activities, links, lesson plans, and benchmarks for tutoring adults who are at a 6th-grade reading level or below. You don't have to be a Literacy Mid-South volunteer to use these great tools!

Find an OST Program

The summer and before/after-school times are critical for supporting your childrens’ reading development happening in school, while having fun and exploring new ways of learning! Check out our list of free and low-cost out-of-school time programs. 

OST Network

Our OST action partners help support elementary students in the out-of-school time space. If your community organization offers camps and programs over the summer and after-school during the school year, Literacy Mid-South can provide literacy resources for the students you serve. Plus, we provide staff training, networking opportunities to learn from peer organizations, free books, and much more.
