Summer Reading Programs for All Ages
Our engaging summer reading programs help students entering every grade improve their reading skills and build a lifelong love of books.
Why Take a Summer Reading Program?
The "summer slide" commonly occurs when kids don’t read or get enough practice using skills over the summer break. Studies on summer learning loss have shown that, on average, kids lose two months of reading progress over the summer. That’s months of effort and educational gain simply erased in just a few short weeks!
Our time-tested summer programs ensure students are reading and building skills over the summer. By the end of the program, your child will have the skills and confidence to make the next school year a huge success—and feel inspired to keep growing as a reader and student.

“This program allowed Israel to really focus on reading comprehension, and through this he was able to break down the story, analyze the events and talk about it like someone who actually read the book and not just the words. Israel just has to continue using the methods he learned in this class for him to continue to improve.” - Carol
