Launch of Summer Reading Initiative: "Read to the Top!"

Secretary Arne Duncan kicked off the Department's summer reading campaign -- "Read to the Top!" -- with the children's classic books "Clifford the Big Red Dog" and "Where the Wild Things Are." The Secretary read to young children, including his own, on the plaza of the ED's Lyndon Baines Johnson headquarters building. The initiative is in response to President Obama's "United We Serve" national volunteer campaign that calls for all Americans to serve in their communities over the summer.
