Stopping the Summer Slide

Summer break isn’t just about fun—it’s a critical window where kids can lose academic ground, especially in literacy, and where safety and growth must go hand in hand. Since the pandemic, the gap has widened, hitting kids hardest without resources. Programs like City of Promise are stepping in with tutoring, mentorship, and enriching activities to keep learning alive. While year-round schooling sounds like a solution, it’s politically and logistically tough—many families rely on summer for vacations and care. The real focus? Consistency. Blending school-year momentum with summer support, through partnerships and dedicated teachers, is proving to boost literacy and reduce absences—without needing a full overhaul of the system.
