Our Story
The Rock ‘n’ Read Project, founded in 2014 by Bill Jones and Ann Kay, believes that reading is the key to success for children. By transforming a retired city bus into a mobile reading lab, the organization has brought innovative literacy solutions directly to children in north Minneapolis. Equipped with computers and the engaging TUNE into READING (TiR) software, the bus creates a fun and interactive learning environment that captivates struggling readers. Over the years, the focus has expanded to include prenatal brain preparation workshops and a comprehensive PreK/K curriculum.
