Regionally Speaking: Indiana Youth Institute on Raising Readers Building Leaders

We need Indiana’s children to become lifelong learners who are able to think critically, solve complex problems, work collaboratively, make informed decisions, and contribute meaningfully to their communities through economic and civic engagement. Success in each of these areas is tied to their ability to learn. And the ability to learn relates directly to their ability to read. Lakeshore Public Radio's Dee Dotson speaks with Tami Silverman, President and CEO Indiana Youth Institute about those opening remarks from the latest column titled 'Raising Readers and Building Leaders'.

Dee Dotson is the host and producer of our radio show/podcast, Regionally Speaking. Dee is responsible for connecting with the northwest Indiana community to share their stories with the Lakeshore Public Media listening audience.
