AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Lakeyta Potter and Nancy Landeros will be meeting with small groups of students each Monday afternoon to practice reading. They will be using the Read Naturally curriculum to help students maintain or improve their reading level. Many students regress over the summer, so this program is designed to help reluctant or struggling readers to retain their reading skills over the summer. Call 507-376-3328 to request a slot for your elementary son or daughter in the program. Transportation is not available for this program.
