The Minnesota Reading Corps is a statewide initiative to help every Minnesota child become a successful reader by the end of 3rd grade.
- The Minnesota Reading Corps program places AmeriCorps members in sites to implement a research-based early-literacy effort to help struggling readers.
- PreK members work with preschool-aged children in their classrooms to create literacy-rich environments.
- K-3 members serve as one-on-one tutors and provide research-based interventions to students who are just below proficiency in reading (Tier II children).
- A Response to Intervention (RtI) model is followed.
