THE NEED TO READ! A new survey, conducted online among 1,190 youths ages 8-18 in March 2013, highlights a key challenge in curbing the well-documented risks of summer learning loss in students. Less than half of American youths identify reading as a favorite summer activity. This survey was conducted by Sylvan Learning, our education partner in promoting summer reading this year. Parents and summer learning programs can prevent summer slide by providing engaging learning experiences and encouraging kids to read. Book Adventure is a free online reading motivation program which is an ideal resource for families and children in the summer months. Parents can help children choose books from more than 8,000 titles, take short comprehension quizzes, and redeem accumulated points for small prizes. Book Adventure also offers teacher and parent resources and tips to help children develop a lifelong love of reading.
