Project Description: Molly Orr created an after-school curriculum called the Reading Road-Trip Manual for her students at Denver's Open Door Ministries.

The Reading Road-Trip curriculum is designed for after-school programs as a supplemental reading program for kids, staff, and volunteers. The unique utilization of an American road-trip map gives students a creative and simplistic way to track their reading while also learning US geography. As a rewards-based incentive, the reading map can easily be monitored by teachers, tutors, students, and parents to fully submerse the students into the program.

Molly's manual includes:

• recommended supplies
• definitions of game rules
• guidelines for the readers, teachers, and volunteers
• tips for reading with kids
• sample trivia of major US cities
• templates, illustrations, and photographs
• sample home reading log sheet
