From afplf.org/our-impact ↗About this program
Nearly 13,000 students participated in the 2024 program, with 67,000 books read.
The program fosters a love of reading, but also helps combat the effects of "summer slide" for children who don't have access to books in the home. Engaging kids with reading and learning activities over the summer keeps reading skills sharp and has been proven to boost reading and literacy test scores once school returns.
