Lee y serás® is a national Latino early literacy initiative that empowers and engages families and communities to foster children’s literacy development so they become strong readers and life-long learners. Celebrating Latino culture, Lee y serás reminds families that by talking, singing, storytelling, and reading to children often and throughout day, they can turn everyday activities such as riding the bus or cooking into meaningful learning moments.
By providing research-based, in-culture, and bilingual curricula and materials for families, childcare providers and leaders, the program's goal is to create long-term attitudinal and behavioral change in an effort to help close the education achievement gap. Created by and for the community, the initiative is a collaboration of Scholastic, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) and Verizon. For more information visit www.leeyseras.net.
