Did you know that, according to the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics, about 34% of fourth-grade students are reading below a basic level, while another 31% are still below reading proficiency? 📚

At ALLMemphis, this is exactly why we do what we do. Our mission is to ensure all students attain the literacy skills they need to reach their fullest potential. Want to learn more about our work? Visit https: https://allmemphis.org/our-impact/

Mentorship is at the heart of what we do at ALLMemphis.

Through our partnership with schools, our literacy coaches work alongside teachers to support effective implementation of the ALLMemphis curriculum and provide ongoing guidance in the classroom. Our goal is to ensure teachers are supported so that students receive the high-quality education they deserve.

Our work is rooted in the Science of Reading, equipping teachers with the tools to understand how students learn to read and how to meet every child where they are. 📚⭐️ We’re committed to helping every student reach their fullest potential.

As we head into the summer months, now is the perfect time to start thinking about summer reading! Keeping kids engaged with books during the break helps them maintain — and even grow — their reading skills.

Here are a few key ways you can encourage your kids this summer:

☀️📚 Visit one of Memphis' local libraries
☀️📚 Set up a dedicated reading nook in your home
☀️📚 Read together out loud using different voices
☀️📚 Pair books with fun activities

This month, Maddie, Krista and Howard traveled to Boston to attend the 2026 Strategic Data Project Convening in Cambridge, MA. Maddie, our Director of Data Analytics, presented her capstone project for her Strategic Data Project Fellowship.

Each year, the convening brings together education leaders and data experts from across the country to examine how to turn data insights into meaningful action in the face of today’s biggest opportunities and challenges in education. Maddie is now able to say she’s a graduate of Cohort 16 from Harvard University.

We are so proud of her amazing work!

May has been full of teacher appreciation! We celebrated the incredible educators we partner with by providing breakfast during Teacher Appreciation Week! We’re so grateful for the passion, dedication and care they pour into their students each day as they help advance our mission. Thank you for everything you do!
