An Extra Boost for Struggling Readers

"What Reading Corps does for us is it essentially provides us a full-service model to meet the needs of all kids. There's the extra support, that extra boost for our kids who aren't at grade level and are working hard to be at grade level."

The Right Equation for Lifelong Success

"At Washington, 97 percent of Math Corps participants increased by 13 points on their math assessments. The national average is just over four points. In my 19 years of teaching, I'm not aware of any other program that can make that progress."

— Thomas Koreltz, math teacher at Washington Technology Magnet in Saint Paul, Minnesota
