America Reads Tutoring Program

Mission

America Reads is an afterschool program that provides academic support to K-8th grade children attending Title I schools by matching them with an ASU student-tutor. The program: • Provides children with consistent opportunities to read with an adult and be introduced to college-going practices • Sparks students’ excitement and improves their academic skills in reading, writing, and math through fun, hands-on and educational activities based on the Arizona Common Core Standards • Offers ASU students an opportunity to serve a community need, act as a positive role model, and develop their own professional skills for future careers
