| No matter what hairstyles youngsters wear, they will be looking good as they turn pages, thanks to a new literacy (读写能力) project that inspires boys to read and rewards them with free haircuts. George Cook ?, a sixth grader at Middle Township Middle School in Cape May Court House, is just one of the 2010 Youth Leaders for Literacy Grant winners for his creative communitybased project that offers reading inspiration. America's youngsters created some big ideas to get kids reading. This year, Youth Leaders for Literacy is awarding 30 cash grants of $ 500 each to winners, totaling $ 15,000. The National Education Association (NEA) joined forces with Youth Service America (YSA) to develop Youth Leaders for Literacy to encourage community service through innovative (创新的) youthdesigned programs that benefit others in their communities. The national competition received more than 200 entries (参赛作品)-an amount that continues to grow each year with the program's popularity. "Educators and parents face a daily challenge of how to develop children's interest in reading," said NEA President Reg Weaver. "When youngsters are encouraged to brainstorm and design l iteracy programs for their generation, it's another solution for the reading blues that really works." Developed in 2001, the youthled activities are started on NEA's Read Across America Day, celebrated this year on Monday, March 3, and end during YSA's Global Youth Service Day, scheduled for April 25-27, 2010. Attached is a list of the 30 grant winners being honored from across the country. "The Youth Leaders for Literacy Grant winners demonstrate global caring and decisions, showing the world that young people can be leaders today, not in some distant tomorrow," said Steve Culbertson, president and CEO of YSA. "By combining the dynamics of leadership, service and learning, the Youth Leaders for Literacy recipients build one of the most important skills-the ability to read." |
