The America Reads Challenge
at the U of U
Introduction
The mission of the America Reads program at the University of Utah is to provide effective, quality tutoring in literacy and mathematics to the elementary aged students of our community partners. To do so, the America Reads program seeks to provide comprehensive tutor training, develop the skills of our leadership, and foster mutually beneficial community partnerships.
The University of Utah is one of over 1,100 institutions of higher education to participate in the America Reads challenge.
Federal work-study recipients work in a one-on-one basis with the children, twice a week, to engage in enjoyable reading activities to help them feel successful by providing positive feedback and support. By joining the America Reads program, you will have a meaningful and fun experience as you gain skills and knowledge necessary for a future career. Join America Reads today and become the ideal role model these children need!
