The Literacy Initiative received two prestigious awards in 2004:

The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) honored the Cambridge Public Health Department and Literacy Coordinator Lei-Anne Ellis for implementing the Let's Talk.It Makes a Difference campaign. Let's Talk was one of 29 programs nationwide that received a NACCHO Model Practice Award in 2004.

Lei-Anne Ellis was named a 2004 Massachusetts Literacy Champion (MFL) for her work in the field of literacy education. Harold Cox, Chief Public Health Officer says "Lei-Anne's belief that parents are their children's most important teachers is the driving force behind many activities in which she involves parents. Lei-Anne truly believes in the city's vision that "all children and families will be able to read."
