Stop the Summer Slide Campaign

Summer should be a time of growth, exploration, and joy for all children. Yet for too many young learners, the summer months bring an invisible setback known as "summer slide" – the loss of reading skills and academic progress that occurs when children lack access to books at home.

This year, the challenge is even greater. With recent federal funding cuts impacting literacy programs nationwide, Books Are Wings must bridge a widening gap to ensure every child has access to books during the critical summer months. Research shows that students without home libraries can lose more than a month of reading progress over summer break – a loss that compounds year after year.

Your support this summer will directly combat learning loss and keep young minds engaged, curious, and growing. Whether through a financial contribution or book donation, you can help us turn the tide on the summer slide. https://crm.bloomerang.co/HostedDonation?ApiKey=pub_e4eaaf14-e97f-11e6-bb7f-024e165d44b3&WidgetId=39988224
