Reading Corps Volunteers

Several Metro Detroit Chapter members have answered the call of the Detroit Public School for Reading Corps volunteers.  Research shows that it is extremely difficult for a struggling reader to “catch up” if the child is unable to read by the end of third grade. For this reason, the Detroit Public School District has identified a goal of ensuring that by 2014, all of the current Pre-kindergarten students and those thereafter, will be able to read at or above grade level by the end of third grade.  The following chapter members are current Reading Corps Volunteers:

• Chapter Member Calvin Higgins is a Reading Corps Volunteer at Bow Elementary School, Detroit, MI
• Chapter Member Charles Fonseca is a Reading Corps Volunteer at Pasteur Elementary School, Detroit. MI
