America Reads is an after school program designed to help elementary school children at P.S. 76 reach the literacy levels prescribed by state and national standards. From 4:00 PM until 5:30 PM every Monday through Thursday, the tutors work with the students on finishing their homework. When finished, the students work on brainteasers, puzzles, and enrichment activities. From 5:30 to 6pm, a tutor leads an activity based upon a certain theme for a particular month. For example, March 2008 was geography month, so we played a game similar to "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego." Fridays are field-trip days, contingent on the students’ weekly behavior.
