A SEA may not receive more than one grant. State Educational Agencies that receive funding are required to make subgrants under two separate parts of the program, Local Reading Improvement and Tutorial Assistance. The goal and mission of America Reads remains the same and that is that all children will read independently and well by the end of the third grade. The Reading Excellence Act supports this goal. Additionally, the America Reads Challenge office will continue to operate as it has been in addressing the numerous strategies for meeting the goal and mission of the Challenge.
