Presenting 'Lea con NEA!'

NEA's literacy program for the Latino community

(en español)

Throughout the year, NEA's "Lea con NEA!" (Read with NEA) will offer a variety of reading resources in English and Spanish and will feature Hispanic educators, community leaders, celebrities, and activists who are dedicated to closing the achievement gap through literacy.

To chair this national literacy initiative, NEA's Read Across America has chosen Edward James Olmos, well-known actor and long time community activist who has worked tirelessly with the disenfranchised, toured as a motivational speaker, and been a leader in the movement toward racial unity. This program offers a host of resources, in English and Spanish, to promote reading awareness.
