America Reads Chapters at the University of Minnesota
There are three America Reads chapters at the University of Minnesota; each chapter serves different tutoring sites in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. After attending training, tutors are placed with elementary-aged children at a local school or community site. Tutoring includes reading stories, playing games centered around literacy skills, and providing support and encouragement.
