TCC students to get extra support

Minnesota Reading Corps exceeded its recruitment goal for the 2009-2010 school year, and has enlisted and placed a record 555 AmeriCorps members in 161 pre-school sites and elementary schools across the state, including Tri-County Community Action in Brainerd.

Minnesota Reading Corps recruits and trains AmeriCorps members to provide extra support for children who are at risk for not reading at their grade level. Members receive extensive training and are equipped with effective literacy instruction methods. Luksamee Jones will be working with students at TCC Action in Brainerd.
