The American Initiative on Reading and Writing, also called Read Write Now!, was launched by the U.S. Secretary of Education, Richard Riley, in May, 1995. Its goals are to assist families in fostering good literacy habits in their children and to assist schools and other youth and educational organizations in improving reading and writing abilities. The target audience for the Initiative is preschoolers and elementary level students, with special emphasis on grades K-6.

Description:	Read Write Now!
	Through partnerships with social and educational organizations, professional organizations, and private business, the Initiative has launched a series of activities, including a summer reading program, a national tutoring effort, and a mentoring project on the World Wide Web (The Alphabet Superhighway).
