Judie Haynes writes, “The summer slide is a well-documented phenomenon that refers to the loss of academic learning that many students experience during summer break. This loss is especially prevalent among children from low-income households because families cannot afford to send their children to camps or other expensive summer programs.

Enlist the help of your local library to assist students with the use of library computers.”
