<\/em><\/p>\nMost students will experience reading skill loss over a typical summer break from school. Creating home libraries is key to preventing a steep learning slide due to summer break and recent extended school closures. \u201cThe KRN in-home reading program has self-selected, leveled, and exciting books with parent-led activities every week which eliminates the need for technology and eradicates learning loss at the same time. Many kids gain up to 2.5 months of learning over the summer,\u201d said Leib Lurie, CEO of Kids Read Now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a neat program to get good books in the hands of students. I also liked the piece where they had to respond with parents. That added another layer that ensures they are reading the books. The program was easy and user friendly,\u201d says Kaye F., School Literacy Specialist, Spartanburg County Schools.<\/p>\n
The Kids Read Now K-3 summer reading program mails eight new books to students and includes exciting multicultural, fiction, and nonfiction titles loved by children. Mailing books builds ongoing enthusiasm but does not require in-home technology. Each book includes guided discussion questions to help improve reading skills and increase family engagement. The ninth book of beautifully illustrated creative writing prompts concludes the program so children can write their own stories. Best of all, kids keep their new books!<\/p>\n
Kids Read Now<\/a> is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the singular mission to eliminate learning loss for all K-3 students.<\/p>\n To learn more about Kids Read Now, please visit https:\/\/kidsreadnow.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
