Eliminate the summer reading slide

 

Kids Read Now WORKS!

Our in-home K-3 summer reading program is eliminating the summer reading slide for hundreds of schools from coast to coast—for a small fraction of the cost of summer school per student. Our “circles of engagement” provide the roadmap to a successful program in YOUR district. Independent research confirmed,

“…Kids Read Now can more than eradicate the entire 2 months of summer learning loss experienced by low-income students.”
– Geoffrey D. Borman, Ph.D.

How
It Works

We’ve spent years fine-tuning our program… always looking for the best new books and developing new tools to benefit not only the kids, but those who are tasked with leading them into literacy.

It’s this continuous improvement that allows us the privilege of almost 90% renewals with our districts. They see their numbers improve and their students develop a love of books.
