Education - Selected Internet Resources: Resources for Literacy, Literature, Etc. The America Reads Challenge asks every American to identify what role he or she can play -- professionally and personally -- to help all of our children learn to read well and independently by the end of third grade. The American Verse Project is a collaborative project between the University of Michigan Humanities Text Initiative (HTI) and the University of Michigan Press. The project is assembling an electronic archive of volumes of American poetry prior to 1920. The full text of each volume of poetry is being converted into digital form and coded in Standard Generalized Mark-up Language (SGML) using the TEI Guidelines, with various forms of access provided through the WWW. These texts may be copied freely by individuals for personal use, research, and teaching (including distribution to classes) as long as this statement of availability is included in the text.
