Check out these great summer reading programs: NY State Senate: nyread.com NYC Public Libraries: summerreadingnys.org Barnes and Nobles: barnesandnobles.com/u/summer-reading Reading Rockets: readingrockets.org/calendar/summer The research is clear that children who don't read during the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, long-term effect.
