Welcome to
ALL AMERICA READS

All America Reads is a national reading and literacy program produced by the Wish You Well Foundation.

The ongoing program is designed to encourage reading and discussion of novels with broad appeal and accessible themes. The project intends to select additional novels and develop reading strategies and lesson plans for use in classrooms across the nation.

The program's featured novel, Wish You Well by David Baldacci, remains the initial book for which lesson plans and strategies are available. Funding and personnel are being collected to select additional novels and develop additional resources for readers and educators.

For each novel, All America Reads engages a dedicated team of professional educators who apply the reading theory of Dr. Kylene Beers and other reading specialists as they develop reading strategies and lesson plans for secondary readers.

In addition, the program provides activities and approaches to the novel that promote comprehension and discussion of the text and its themes.
