Summer Reading Program
Research shows that students can loose ground in their reading skills over the summer if they do not engage in reading. As a result, a number of summer reading programs have been created to help support students’ academic progress during the summer, while also focusing on the fun aspects of reading. Reading every day is recommended, and this can include silent book reading, family storytime, listening to books on tape, and/or reading magazines.

After school programs can be run by schools or other organizations, but their goal is generally to provide a safe and educational environment for children after traditional school hours.
