Summer is almost halfway gone. Prevent "summer slide”—the learning loss which can occur over the summer months. Research had shown that kids who don’t read during summer vacation actually slip in reading ability when school season is back. Vacation is fun and not an excuse not to read when school is out. Therefore, we should make reading fun too. Earn free books in these summer reading programs. Some programs may not be for kids only. But for everyone in the family. And you may get a prize and a freebie too.
