The America Reads Challenge
at the U of U
Introduction
The goal of America Reads is to ensure that every American child can read well and independently by the end of the third grade. The University of Utah is one of over 1,100 institutions of higher education to participate in the challenge. The U of U is part of a collaboration of other institutions which work together to implement the America Reads mission into the Salt Lake Valley.
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!
