I just returned from a fabulous 4 day training in the Minnesota Reading Corps! Our district is lucky to have 3 MRC literacy tutors! Two of us are in Pre-K, Deanna and Myself and Michelle Olson is our K-3 literacy tutor! We learned a lot, had a lot of fun and are all excited to start a new year of literacy enrichment! If you haven't heard or MRC, please look it up! We are a group of almost 800 literacy tutors throughout the state of MN. We have done some amazing things! MRC in Pre-K has better prepared our students for Kindergarten!
In fall 2010 we had:
10% on target for Kindergarten in RHYMING
50% on target for Kindergarten in LETTER NAMING
25% on target for Kindergarten in PICTURE NAMING
27% on target for Kindergarten in ALLITERATION
10% on target for Kindergarten in LETTER SOUND
By Spring 2011 we had:
75% of Pre-K students on target in RHYMING
75% on target in LETTER NAMING
100% on target in PICTURE NAMING
60% on target in ALLITERATION
65 % on target in LETTER SOUND
This is a direct result of the hard work of our MRC tutors! Parkers Prairie is one of a few sites in greater Minnesota with tutors in both Pre-K and K-3!
