Several kids in a summer reading program have made a lot of progress. Their teachers are amazed by their newfound ability to read in full. These students show a lot of progress and want to share their story too.
Summer reading programs are springing up everywhere. Is that a good way to spend a summer break?
Summer reading programs are beneficial to literacy.
Program supervisors are working to keep kids in the summer reading program. They want to make sure that students do not slide back into their old habits. Each student will continue to read and develop these important skills that they need. That will show officials that the summer reading program actually works too. Follow the details and get to know the students personally as they make headway in school.
Nearly 30 kids who spent their summer with their noses in books finally got a huge payoff. They had to attend Ready, Set, READ! in Reading’s Oakbrook neighborhood for 30 out of the 40 days of the program to qualify for a free bike, helmet, and backpack.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
