CEA is the state's largest teachers union, representing over 33,000 public school teachers in school districts across the state. Raising successful readers is of fundamental importance to teachers. We have created this site to encourage, enable, and assist anyone and everyone interested in reading success. When school is out, learning should still be in.
Summer is the time to enjoy leisurely reading.
Many school districts supply children with summer reading lists. Awards are given to schools with 100 percent student participation, the most outstanding reading performance, and the most books read per student with at least 60 percent participation. For information, click here . NEA President Bob Chase gives parents summer activities suggestions that can impact children's school performance when they return to classes in the fall.
