WHY LITERACY?

For young students in America, 3rd-grade reading is a crucial milestone. Students who are reading on grade level at that junction have an 89% chance of high school graduation and career success, regardless of household income level. Because literacy changes everything,

"At an early age, reading became a huge confidence booster for me. This led to me being able to face, manage, and overcome challenges better. As an impact player, I want to help others find their inner confidence by utilizing the power of literacy so they, too, can bravely face and overcome many of life’s challenges to ultimately become better versions of themselves.” 

We know every kid is capable. They simply need access and opportunity. This is where you come in!

ABOUT BELIEVE MEMPHIS ACADEMY

Believe Memphis Academy Charter School is a public, tuition-free college preparatory charter school that serves students from kindergarten to eighth grade. Our school was established in 2018 with a strong commitment to community building, teacher coaching, and supporting all community members. Our dedicated team strives to provide a high-quality education that prepares our students for all aspects of life.

After starting a partnership with ALL Memphis, we have observed significant improvement based on end-of-year iReady scores. We would like to strengthen our partnership with ALL Memphis, which assists us in implementing foundational reading skills in Kindergarten through 3rd grade.

Through the support of Champions for Literacy, we’ve been able to supplement the cost of teacher development provided by ALL Memphis.
