Mississippi First Lady Elee Reeves has teamed up with Excel By 5, Inc., to promote early literacy efforts across the state. The partnership aims to foster a love of reading among young children, recognizing its importance in building a strong future for Mississippi.
Reeves and Excel By 5 are encouraging families to participate in the campaign #Readfor20MS, which advocates for at least 20 minutes of reading each day. The initiative emphasizes that it’s never too early to start cultivating reading habits.
Officials say investing in early childhood literacy benefits the entire state, helping to prepare children for academic success and lifelong learning. The campaign highlights the role of families and communities in supporting young learners.
