School's out and summer is here, but that shouldn't mean books are left on the shelf. When students don't read during the summer months, they lose educational ground - a phenomenon that lowers achievement potential and widens the achievement gap.
To encourage kids to continue reading over the summer, several organizations have created Summer Reading Challenges. Below is a list of Challenges for local kids.
