America Reads/America Counts
The America Reads/America Counts Program currently works in both the Champaign and Urbana communities in partnership with the Champaign and Urbana school districts. Tutoring sites include: two early childhood centers, seventeen elementary schools, four middle schools, one alternative middle school, one adult education center, the Gerber School, and three after-school sites (Shadowwood La Comunidad Unida (C-U Project), Orchard Downs, and the Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club). The America Reads/America Counts Program hires undergraduate, Federal Work-Study students to tutor children (pre-k through 6th grade) in reading, and children (pre-k through the 8th grade) in math. During the 2002-2003 academic year, 630 tutors worked with the program. Graduate students are hired as Graduate Coordinators to oversee the work of the tutors at a tutoring site. During the 2003 academic year, there were 28 Graduate Coordinators.
