Summer Learning Loss Prevention
Third-grade reading skills predict high school graduation. That’s why the Y’s Summer Learning Loss Prevention Program helps elementary students reading below grade level. The program focuses on phonics, writing and reading to boost literacy skills, with enrichment activities to support physical and social-emotional growth.
