Minnesota Reading Corps
| Last updated on September 11, 2008 |
The Minnesota Reading Corps is a statewide initiative to help every Minnesota child become a successful reader. The initiative matches trained AmeriCorps members and volunteers to children from age three to grade three who are not reading at grade level.
Description:
Minnesota Reading Corps (MRC) is a program that places members in schools to enhance literacy instruction. MRC focuses on children from age three to grade three.
Some members work with preschoolers and focus on integrating talking, reading, and writing into all activities. Other members tutor children from kindergarten to third grade in literacy. Still others recruit, train and manage community volunteers to expand the capacity of the program.
MRC members and volunteers are trained in research-based, leveled literacy instruction. They are also supported by expert coaches. Members track student progress, and with help from their expert coaches, use this data to inform tutoring strategies for each student.
History:
ServeMinnesota launched the Minnesota Reading Corps (MRC) in the fall of 2004 to expand and enhance literacy tutoring efforts in our state for students from age 3 to third grade. MRC's goal is to match children who need extra support in developing literacy skills with trained members and volunteers to help them become more proficient in their literacy skills.
MRC works to support effective collaborations among AmeriCorps programs, schools, volunteers, families and community partners around the goal of ensuring that challenged young readers are supported by research-based tutoring interventions with a strong, successful track record.
