GREENVILLE, SC, March 22, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) – Kids Read Now has partnered with school districts across South Carolina, including Spartanburg County Schools, to send books directly to their students’ homes over the summer. The number of students in the Kids Read Now program continues to grow, with almost 400,000 books being sent to students in 2020 alone!
Most students will experience a loss of reading ability during the typical summer vacation at school. The creation of home libraries is essential to avoid a sharp drop in learning due to the summer holidays and the recent closing of schools. “The KRN 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 children gain up to 2.5 months of learning during the summer, ”said Leib Lurie, CEO of Kids Read Now.
“This was a nice program to put good books in the hands of the students. I also liked the play in which they had to answer their parents. This added another layer that ensures that they are reading the books. The program was easy and friendly, ”says Kaye F., School Literacy Specialist, Spartanburg County Schools.
The Kids Read Now K-3 summer reading program sends eight new books to students and includes exciting multicultural, fictional and non-fiction titles loved by children. Mailing books generates continued enthusiasm, but does not require domestic technology. Each book includes questions for guided discussion to help improve reading skills and increase family involvement. The ninth book of beautifully illustrated creative writing instructions concludes the program so that children can write their own stories. Best of all, children keep their new books!
Kids Read Now is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization with a unique mission to eliminate learning loss for all K-3 students.
