📖 Reading is a Human Right – Mississippi Rising | Week Two

Welcome back to our Mississippi Rising book study series! 🌟
In Chapter 1, we begin exploring the foundation of Mississippi’s literacy journey—how the state moved from being last in the nation to leading the way in reading growth.

✨ In this episode, we’ll unpack:

  • The challenges Mississippi faced before reform
  • The first critical steps that sparked change
  • The role of educators, policymakers, and families in shifting the narrative
  • Why these lessons still matter for literacy advocates today

This chapter sets the stage for everything that follows. It shows us that real change is possible, even in the face of overwhelming obstacles, when a state commits to structured literacy and the science of reading.
