July 29 is the launch of a new Read Where You Are day of action to raise awareness and encourage reading. Reading can happen everywhere.

Did you know? Young people who do not read over the summer fall behind their classmates, especially low-income students.

Research shows that summer learning loss adds up, especially for low-income students. By 8th grade, that lost learning time accounts for 2/3 of the achievement gap between low-income children and their more affluent peers.

Tell everyone, take action and Read Where You Are, anywhere you are, and spread the word.
