Literacy In Oklahoma

Text the Bookcast and say "hi"!

Welcome to Chapter 79!

We're doing something a little different to kick off the year. I’ve invited three experts working in the field of literacy across Oklahoma to join me for a conversation about where we are as a state and what is being done to help meet childhood and adult literacy challenges. You are going to hear some passionate folks talk about some inspiring interventions and results and you’re also going to hear about how you can get involved.
