America Reads / America Counts is a Federal Work-Study program in which college students work one-on-one with academically at-risk children. The term "at-risk" describes children who live in low-income areas and are more likely to drop out of high school. Tutors assist the children with homework as well as create fun, hands-on activities that meet the academic needs of each individual child.

America Reads / America Counts tutors work with children in grades K – 8. They are committed to meeting the challenge to have all children reading well and independently by the end of third grade and working at grade-level in math.

The program aims to:

  • Spark children’s excitement in reading and math
  • Improve children’s literacy and math skills
  • Provide greater access to books and opportunities for reading with an adult

America Reads/America Counts programs are currently running throughout the Phoenix Metro Area. The program is staffed by over 130 ASU-student tutors.
