[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Literacy is a gamechanger.

When we teach kids to read and write early, we set them up for a lifetime of academic and financial success. We all have the power to make a difference in our children’s lives. Let's join the @Lions and Early On Michigan to be reading gamechangers!

Biden: '12 years of education is not enough to win the economic competition of the 21st century. If you want to have the best educated workforce, let's finish the job by providing access to preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds.' #sotu2023

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Studies show that children who go to preschool are nearly 50% more likely to finish high school and go on to earn a 2- or 4-year degree.

President Biden is calling on Congress to provide access to preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds.
