Abstract

The READ! by 4th Campaign is an ambitious attempt to help increase literacy rates among young Philadelphia students and thereby improve education in the city.

With the May 19 mayoral primary fast approaching, the Notebook asked each of the announced candidates -- Democrats Lynne Abraham, Nelson Diaz, Doug Oliver, Milton Street, and Anthony Hardy Williams -- to say, in 300 words or less, how they plan to support this early literacy campaign’s efforts, and what obstacles they thought might hinder its success. Here is what they had to say. The comments of Diaz and Street were edited for length.
