The America Reads Challenge was announced by President Clinton in 1996 in an attempt to ensure that every child can read well and independently by the end of third grade, thus eliminating adult illiteracy. Winthrop accepted the Challenge in the fall of 1997, and has since helped hundreds of children in the York County area on the road to better reading. Tutors work with children ages 6 months to ten years old in one of a variety of settings, including local elementary schools, an after school center, and the children's homes. The focus of tutoring sessions is on reading and pre-reading skills.
Applications are also available on-line.
