America Reads is a national program initiated in 1996 by President Clinton with the goal of ensuring that all children can read independently by the end of third grade. The ASU America Reads Program offers tutoring and mentoring programs staffed by paid students (through Federal work-study), as well as Educational Studies Internships. America Reads tutors work with children one-on-one at partner community centers and schools.
The term “at-risk” describes children who live in low-income areas and are more likely to drop out of high school. Tutors work with children in grades K-8 and create fun, hands-on activities that meet the academic needs of the individual child and assist with homework, reading, and math.
January of this year, I lost my husband, and I am so happy I signed my son up for this program. He has improved in his academics and his communication with his peers. You all have encouraged him to make friends. You guys are in our prayers. A big thanks!
