✅if you haven’t been following my other 2 or 3 videos- we talked about the access to books is so important for grades-for success in school and has a direct correlation to graduation and all of the things


📣📣and so today we’re going to talk about summer slump .


👀👀Why does it matter and why you need to makes sure your kids are reading every day in the summertime to prevent learning loss.



🏠🏠So here's a chart about summer reading loss.


🎉🎉The Blue Line are those in Advantaged communities that have access to books, that go to libraries that have books at home that kind of thing.


✅The red line is for families that have little to no access to books- little to no libraries at-home or no taking the time or having the time to-read to their kids.


🏠So we see a significant difference between the 2 levels of kids.


🤯🤯So if you don't have access to books at your home- do not dismay


📣📣look around at tons of local communities that have free book drops (see this awesome organization here: https://littlefreelibrary.org/)


🎉🎉 tons of libraries give them away for free (see some great resources here; https://support.betterworldbooks.com/hc/en-us/articles/200605957-Drop-Box-Locations)
