Help Students Stay Engaged
with Books This Summer
When school is out, reading helps students stay on track. Without access to books at home, kids can lose up to 20% of their reading skills over the summer, making it harder to start the new school year with confidence.
Here’s why keeping them reading all summer long is so important:
- Boosts Literacy: Sharpens skills, builds vocabulary, and strengthens comprehension.
- Improves Academic Success: Summer readers retain more, learn faster, and feel prepared.
- Encourages a Love of Reading: Books spark curiosity and imagination beyond the classroom.
Host a Spring Book Blast and send students home with books they’ll love, keeping them reading, learning, and growing all summer long. There’s no cost to your school and no financial burden on parents, just a fun and easy way to get books into kids' hands before summer break.

Students who read 4–6 books over the summer see improved test scores.
It doesn’t take a lot of books to make a big difference. Reading just four to six books over the summer helps students keep up their skills and even improve. When kids have books they enjoy, they are more likely to read and be ready for school in the fall.
Reading just 20 minutes a day keeps kids from falling behind.
Reading for just 20 minutes a day can make a big difference. Spending time with a good book helps stop the summer slide. It keeps kids learning, builds their vocabulary, and helps them feel confident and ready when school starts again.
