summer reading programs

Summer reading programs are initiatives, often organized by libraries and schools, that encourage children and teens to read during the summer months. These programs typically offer a variety of books, reading challenges, and incentives, such as prizes or recognition, to motivate young readers. The goal is to prevent the “summer slide,” where students lose some of their reading skills and knowledge over the break. By engaging in these programs, participants can enhance their literacy, explore new genres, and enjoy reading as a fun, enriching activity during their vacation.
