Literacy for ME:
Maine's Comprehensive State Literacy Plan

Commissioner Stephen Bowen launched Literacy for ME at the Lewiston Public Library Tuesday, September 11. You may watch a video recording of the event* online. View or download a transcript from the event. (PDF, 45KB)

Literacy for ME unifies the efforts of several state agencies and community groups as well as Maine’s public schools to provide direction and support to improve literacy achievement.  Increasing demands for a variety of literacy skills and rapidly changing technology that affects how we work and how we communicate have combined to highlight the need to modify our perceptions of literacy, literacy instruction, and the role of literacy in our daily lives.
