The America Reads Challenge at
The University of Utah

The mission of America Reads Challenge is to ensure that every child can
read well and independently by the end of the third grade. The University of Utah joined in this challenge upon its' inception in 1997. University students who receive Federal Work-Study Financial Aid serve at local elementary schools as one-on-one tutors helping children to develop literacy skills and confidence.

With the nation-wide success of America Reads, a new challenge was adopted: America Counts. Now, in addition to literacy, tutors help children with basic math skills.
