From 2013, all rooms literacy classes for Brazilian schools have a vest with about 25 literature books to encourage reading habits from the beginning of school life.

The details of the program were presented by Secretary of Basic Education MEC, Cesar Callegari, representatives of the Ministries of Education of the Ibero-American countries, meeting in Salamanca (Spain) for the Congress of Languages in Education and Culture.

The cost for the purchase and distribution of educational materials - including books of literature that will be in the classroom - is R$ 340 million.

With support from the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI), the group plans to organize a new meeting exclusively to discuss the theme and Brazilian experience can serve as inspiration.
