Cover of Memphis Made, a literacy workbook by Carla Fields-Richardson

Workbook for middle school readers

Memphis Made

Read Memphis. Write Memphis. Know Memphis.

Memphis history isn't something kids should hear about once a year. It's their story. This workbook pairs readings about the people, places, music and movements that shaped the city with writing, comprehension and critical-thinking activities.

It's the same curriculum we teach after school at Grahamwood Elementary.

  • Reading comprehension and vocabulary
  • Writing and reflection
  • Black history and civil rights in Memphis
  • Memphis music, culture and legacy
