Urbana University receives grant for community read
Champaign County residents will be invited to read the book “trouble don’t last” by Shelley Pearsall this fall as part of a community read funded through a grant from the State Library of Ohio Board.
Urbana University, on March 2, was awarded the $10,000 grant through the State Library’s Choose to Read Ohio program - a statewide initiative to encourage the reading of Ohio literature together across Ohio communities.
The university’s education majors will prepare lesson plans that will be shared with area teachers who participate in the project, said Ann Corfman, associate professor of education and CTRO grant co-director.
“We hope fifth and sixth graders throughout Champaign County will be introduced to the book next fall and will want to share what they have learned about the Underground Railroad with their parents and families,” Corfman said in the university release.
