Summer Reading Program
Prevent the “Summer Slide” with the Summer Reading Program
Did you know?
- Up to six weeks of the fall semester is spent reviewing and re-learning old material due to summer slide
- Low-income youth lose two – three months of reading skills over summer months, a large contributor to the widening the achievement
- Reading four to five books may prevent a decline in reading achievement scores from the spring to the fall
By donating to RSTEM Summer Reading Program, you are putting books directly in hands of our R-STEM students for their Summer Reading. We use the June BOGO fair to purchase these books, making your donation worth double! Our goal is to give 2 books to every student for the 6th year in a row.
