About this episode
Georgia lawmakers approved a measure to implement literacy coaches in elementary schools, and Dr. Lindee Morgan discusses their training and impact on students and teachers.
Georgia lawmakers approved a measure (HB 1193) that would put a literacy coach in every elementary school in the state more than thirteen-hundred of them. We speak with Dr. Lindee Morgan, the executive director of the Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy, to get a read on how those coaches will be trained and what they will do for Georgia children and the teachers who teach them. There is a big payoff at stake: children are expected to begin reading to learn after the third grade, and if they don't learn to read before then, they can be at a disadvantage that can stretch through a lifetime.
