She said that children can choose whatever topics they like.
Second Lady Usha Vance has launched her annual summer reading challenge for school children to promote literacy across the country.
“It is the second one. Last year, it was an idea that we had really at the last minute, as we were thinking about ways to enhance childhood literacy and get kids reading over the summer and sort of stave off some of the summer learning loss that traditionally happens every year,“ Mrs. Vance said. “So we did a little pilot program, and it was a success beyond what we had hoped.”
“This year we’re having a big rollout all over the country,“ Mrs. Vance stated. She outlined partnerships with schools, libraries, and other institutions nationwide.
“Our summer reading challenge is really simple. All kids have to do is pick up 12 books, anything that they like,“ the second lady said. “If a kid likes reading about squirrels, as one did last year, read 12 books about squirrels. If a kid loves history, read books about history. So you read those books, write them down on a log, and send them to [the White House reading webpage] and we’ll receive them, send a certificate.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Second Lady Usha Vance as she advocates for and promotes children’s literacy through summer vacation.
- For the president, vice president, and other administration officials to seek God’s guidance as they create policies that impact families, parents, and children.
