Welcome to NYU America Reads & America Counts, |
|
America Reads, a national campaign that was
initiated in 1997, challenges every American to help our children learn to read
well and independently by the end of elementary school. Nationwide, there are
approximately 1200 colleges and universities participating in the America Reads
Challenge.
Building
on the success of the America Reads Challenge, America Counts was initiated in
July 1999 as an effort to improve student achievement in mathematic and assist
students in mastering challenging mathematics, including the foundations of
algebra and geometry, by the end of the 9th grade.
NYU's
America Reads program began in 1997 with the placement of approximately 700
tutors in 43 schools in New York City School Districts 1 and 2. Today, as
schools prepare students for careers of the 21st century, NYU America Reads has
grown to include mathematics tutoring, expanding the program to NYU America
Reads & America Counts.
Currently, approximately 1000 tutors are placed in 100 schools in New York City School Districts 1, 2, 4, and 13. These dedicated NYU undergraduate and graduate students provide approximately 10,000 hours per week of academic assistance to students in grades Pre-K – 9, at no cost to the participating schools.
