March Is Tennessee Literacy Month

Throughout March, the Tennessee Department of Education invites all Tennesseans to celebrate Tennessee Literacy Month, proclaimed by Governor Bill Lee.

All month long, the department will highlight how Tennessee’s meaningful reading investments continue to strengthen early literacy skills and prepare students to reach their full potential.

This week and month, the department and Riley the Reading Raccoon will celebrate the work happening to boost literacy scores by visiting schools across the state.

Tennesseans are encouraged to join the conversation on social media throughout the month using hashtags like #TNReadingForALL and #ReadLikeRiley
