In the Spotlight:
This summer many young children will spend their time traveling, exploring, and meeting new friends, all activities that will keep their minds engaged throughout the summer. Millions of others, however, will not have these opportunities and will instead waste their summer days indoors, bored and possibly even unsupervised. Due to the cost of summer camps, vacations, and other activities, low-income families are more likely to miss out on valuable summer learning experiences. For these children, learning opportunities will be lost and they will be at risk.
Download this handout, "Choosing a Summer Learning Program," and give it to parents to help them select a summer learning program that fits their family's needs, wants, and budget.
