Usha Vance Pushes Childhood Literacy

WASHINGTON, DC – Second Lady Usha Vance visited a charter school in Florida as part of her effort to promote childhood literacy and highlight her Summer Reading Challenge for students across the country.

During her visit to AcadeMir Academy Charter School East in Doral, Florida, Vance read ‘Ada Twist the Scientist’ by author Andrea Beaty to students. She also spoke about the importance of reading and answered questions from children and faculty members.

“It was such a joy to meet so many amazing kids in Miami and share the gift of reading with them. I loved telling them about my upcoming Summer Reading Challenge and the fun updates we’ve made since last year’s challenge. I’m excited for children all over the country to learn and grow through stories this summer,” Vance said.

School officials said the visit focused on literacy, education and student development.

The Summer Reading Challenge is part of Vance’s broader childhood literacy initiative. The Second Lady recently launched a podcast, ‘Storytime with the Second Lady’, in which guests and celebrities read children’s stories aloud.

Recent guests have included former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, actor Cheryl Hines, Inter Miami CF player Ian Fray and Vance’s mother, Lakshmi Chilukuri.
