Fight Summer Slide with Lowcountry Literacy

Summer slide ain’t just a buzzword—it’s real learning loss happening right now in Charleston County. Kids are out of school, but the Lowcountry Literacy Project is stepping in with hands-on, phonics-based help to keep reading and math skills sharp. Their “Families First” program turns everyday moments into learning opportunities, backed by library partnerships and free parent workshops. Experts warn kids can lose two months—or more—for struggling readers—leading to frustration and confidence gaps. Parents can show up Thursday at Mount Pleasant Library or June 9th at Wando Library for free, no-sign-up-needed sessions to spot signs of slide and get practical tools. It’s about holding onto what kids already know—and building confidence for when school resumes. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
