Kids Read Now WORKS! Our in-home K-5 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. Independent research confirmed “…the impact of Kids Read Now can more than eradicate the entire 2 months of summer learning loss experienced by low-income students.” - Geoffrey D.
