America Reads

Introduction

The A.S. Community Affairs Office and local school districts work together to implement UCSB’s response to the national America Reads America Counts challenge. America Reads America Counts (AR/AC) is funded through Federal Work Study and trains 35 UCSB students to be tutors each year. Each tutor is expected to encourage students in the subject areas of reading and mathematics, and support them in their school development. Tutors work directly with kindergarten through sixth grade students to improve their reading and math proficiency skills. Tutors work one-on-one with individual students and lead group work and class activities at Isla Vista Elementary, El Camino Elementary, Franklin Elementary, Cesar Chavez Charter Elementary, and La Casa de la Raza.
