Dreaming of Reading
Dreamgirls star Anika Noni Rose is joining the cast of millions reading on March 2, NEA's Read Across America Day. Anika's favorite reading heroes: her father and her grandmother, a former special education teacher in Hartford, Connecticut. Her message to kids? "I want them to know that reading is fun. It's not just homeWORK but can be home FUN. It doesn't matter how fast or slow your do it, or how big or small the book is. It allows you to take yourself to places you've never been or even dreamed of."
