Massachusetts Reads and Succeeds
September is a month full of promise as students, families and educators across Massachusetts
begin a new school year. To celebrate this annual event we've once again invited the Massachusetts
Literacy Champions to share some of their favorite resources. From the time honored
tradition of live story-telling to channeling history with John Quincy Adams to learning about right
whales on your iPod, these gems make our state a great place to live and to learn.
On behalf of the Massachusetts Literacy Foundation and our partner Verizon, we encourage you
to pursue these opportunities with your family and wish you a successful year. Click here for Massachusetts Reads & Succeeds Page (PDF file)
