The America Reads Challenge is a national initiative designed to address the fact that 40 percent of our country’s fourth graders read below level. This initiative, announced by President Clinton in 1996 and initially spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Education, aims to help every child read well and independently by the end of third grade. The America Reads Challenge asks every American to identify what role he or she can play – professionally and personally – to help achieve this goal.In response to President Clinton’s Challenge, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), Miami Dade College, the University of Miami, Florida International University, St. Thomas University, and Barry University joined forces to form the South Florida America Reads Coalition. Since its inception, other local colleges and universities have joined the coalition. Each college and university has committed Federal Work-Study funds to hire and place students as reading tutors.
