A good way to get involved in the AMERICA READS CHALLENGE is to start or expand a local summer READ*WRITE*NOW! program. Many reading publications, including the summer READ*WRITE*NOW! kits, are available on the Internet. In addition, limited copies may be available from the U.S. Department of Education by calling 1-800-USA-LEARN.
