More than 600 pre-school children are attending Learning Readiness classes this summer in St. Paul, twice the enrollment of last summer. Learning Readiness is a statewide initiative to help prepare four and five year old children for kindergarten. The St. Paul district expanded its program this summer, targeting low-income children who have not been in other early childhood programs and those with limited English skills. Minnesota Public Radio's Tim Pugmire reports.
