Summer Reads
What is Summer Reads?
Summer Reads provides literacy services and mentorship to low-income children (primarily K-5) in schools, libraries and nonprofit organizations across Minnesota.
Mentors and Coaches bring literacy to life through a variety of activities, including one-to-one tutoring and enrichment activities, using arts and drama to explore language.
Recently, Summer Reads has expanded to include some services for adults!
