It's summer, a time for kids to relax, visit friends, enjoy the great outdoors, and dive into an exciting new book.
Research shows children lose one to three months of learning every summer. Prevent this summer learning loss by hosting a Summer Reading Olympics for your family, neighborhood, or local youth group.
Activities Flex Their Brain Muscles Find out how to host a Reading Olympics in three easy steps. Also, learn how to make a 'handy' family torch and glittery medals.
