THOMASVILLE, GA -- The City of Thomasville set to launch their new early literacy initiative helping provide easier access to educational tools for area kids.

Through Thomasville City Schools, 'Footsteps2Brilliance' aims to create equity and opportunity to address the 30 million word gap that 45% of high poverty children entering school have as compared to their more affluent peers.

The app is available to any student and family living within 10 miles of zip code 31792, whether they are enrolled in Thomasville City Schools or not.

The launch kicks off Thursday, April 13 from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. at Broad Street in Thomasville, GA.
