NEWS San Francisco Foghorn 1 NOVEMBER 20, 2003 America Reads: A Different Job Students teach kids to read for money

JESSICA LOVE StaffWriter

The highest paying work study job on campus also brings USF students and elementary school children together in teaching kids to read more effi­ ciently. America Reads, a federal work-study program, is a program that was initiated by Bill Clinton during his presidency. It was created for children from kindergarten to third grade, and it aims to improve literacy throughout the United States. The goal of America Reads states: We are parents, teachers, college students, care givers, volunteers, busi­ ness people, children... And we are united with one goal. The America Reads Challenge calls on all Americans to help ensure that every American child can read well and independently by the end of 3rd grade. You can play an important role in the America Reads Challenge. (www.ed.gov/inits/americareads/aboutus.html). Former USf Professor of Education Kathleen Jonson started America Reads at USF. Now Brendan Ashe and Christine Labagh, program coordi­ nators, run America Reads. Each semester America Reads employs between 80 and 120 students as tutors for the program, and they are placed in local elementary schools to assist students who need help learning how to read. Program coordinator Brendan Ashe says that the America Reads goal is to make kids excited about reading. "We have 12 different locations around San Francisco and they have all been very receptive. Part of what this pro­ gram brings is a strong relationship with the San Francisco community, and the relationships that tutors build with the students and teachers they work with." The program tries to safeguard against teachers that might use USF students as assistants. "We've made the program very structured so that stu­ dents stick to reading, and the teachers know they can't take advantage ofour tutors," Ashe said. It is the sense of community that has many tutors, such as senior Laura Pagenstecher, a psychology major, coming back to America Reads each semester. In Laura's experience she has seen that "the students are definite­ ly in need of help. I really hke that I am able to work with kids and develop relationships with them." Laura works at an elementary school on Haight Street. "I think America Reads is really helpful for schools because there are always tutors there helping the kids learn and stirring enthusiasm for reading." The program has had great success in terms of tutors benefiting from their experience with America Reads. Ashe remarks, "The tutors get satis­ faction out of teaching, and of being able to help shape another student's mind." This job also provides one of the few ways that USF students can work to educate kids without an official teaching license. "We do a couple of things so it's not just a job'," Ashe said. "We have luncheons to remind the tutors of our goals and what we want to accomplish, and we also train them so that they know they are responsible for educating these children." The America Reads program offers flexibility to work with the variety of schedules students have. Pagenstecher, for example, works Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., but "schedules vary," she said. "I know some tutors who work everyday for a couple of hours, or some who work just two or three days for longer hours like I do." Locations are spread throughout San Francisco. The program, in addition to hourly wages, covers transporta­ tion costs. "This is a great opportunity for students to work, and it is the only pro­ KIMIKO BARBOUR/FOGHORN PHOTOS BY AHMAD SLOAN, KIMIKO BARBOUR/FOGHORN gram on campus that is one hundred percent work study money," Ashe said.
