In case you missed it, ALLMemphis’ Structured Literacy Intervention Comprehensive Education (SLICE) has been approved for accreditation by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA). With this accreditation, our team is now offering comprehensive training sessions, designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of how to support struggling readers. These trainings are open to ALL members of our community who are looking to increase their knowledge in foundational reading, including general education teachers, special education teachers, ELL instructors, reading interventionists, RTI instructors, parents and school administration. 

Our next training is March 13-17. This five-day 40-hour comprehensive overview covers foundational literacy concepts to either refresh or jumpstart your ability to support early learning.

Our executive director and CEO, Dr. Krista Johnson, was recently a guest on Bluff City Life with Gina Neely. She shared about our recent International Dyslexia Association accreditation, ALLMemphis' unique teaching model and our commitment to students during their literacy journey.

In addition, StyleBlueprint compiled uplifting advice from women in Memphis, and Krista was included! Readers were able to end 2022 with a bit of inspiration from several FACES of Memphis. Here’s what Krista had to say:

“One of my colleagues in Chicago told me, ‘Don’t ever expect to get lucky because luck is the intersection between preparation and opportunity. Go out and manifest what you want.’”

Each contribution from our supporters this past year helped us move closer to our goal of ensuring ALL Memphis students have equal access to high-quality literacy instruction. By donating to ALLMemphis, you help us ensure students attain a level of literacy that allows them to reach their fullest potential.

Education is ever-evolving – from the way teaching methods are designed to how classrooms are set up. Access to funding, resources and technology all play a role. ALLMemphis works directly with educators and literacy coaches to train them in literacy instruction and provide mentorship to support the implementation of the training in their schools. These educators are on the front line of change. New on our blog, we’ve compiled thoughts from them on what’s changed in education and how students today are benefiting.
