Students at Liberty Classical Schools recite a poem for Usha Vance, second lady

The children of Liberty Classical Schools recite a poem for Usha Vance, second lady, during an event on Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025, as part of the second lady's 2025 Summer Reading Challenge.

CANTON, Ga. – America's students should put down their phones and read a book or embrace other activities instead, second lady Usha Vance urged this week as she shared an "eye-opening" personal revelation about "how literacy is faring in the United States." 

She chose reading as her summer initiative, Vance told Fox News Digital, after she was inspired by her middle child's interest in reading from watching his older brother. 

"He wanted to read, and he wanted me to teach him to read," she said in an interview.

"That took me down a rabbit hole of trying to understand how one teaches reading… and it was really eye-opening," she added. She and her husband, Vice President JD Vance, have three children.

At Cherokee Classical Academy in Canton, Georgia, on Thursday, the second lady encouraged students to put down their electronic devices and engage with a book instead. (See the video at the top of this article.)

"It’s wonderful to pick up things that are just a little harder and that require you to focus just a bit more… so later you can focus on what really matters," she said. 

"I think it’s a pretty hard time right now for a lot of people because we all have these iPhones and iPads – all these things that kind of draw your attention away," she added.

"We all have these iPhones and iPads — all these things that draw your attention away."
