Value of summer reading

We go through a lot of work to provide an active, enjoyable summer reading program for young people. However, we all enjoy it and wouldn't do it any other way, because the value of encouraging young people to read is tremendous.

Studies have been done that show an average student who doesn't read or do other learning opportunities in the summer can lose as much as 2.5 months of learning. That's significant. So, if we can motivate the 1260+ young people currently signed up by providing a fun reading stimulus, then we've done a great day's work.

There's still time to help your child. Registration for our reading program runs through July.

And while you're in, pick up some reading material for yourself.
