Charlotte, NC (Tuesday, October 25, 2022) 鈥� 扒哥黑料 announced today the launch of a new education initiative 鈥� Discover Literacy 鈥� created in partnership with the Dollar General Literacy Foundation promoting literacy nationwide. Designed to support the development of critical literacy skills in K-2 students, Discover Literacy offers teachers, students, and caregivers access to a powerful suite of in-school and after-school digital resources at no cost. 听
