Looking Forward to Summer Boost Program
Twenty-nine school districts will be participating in this year’s Summer Boost: Reading and Mathematics Program, a partnership between the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), the Summer Food Service Program and the Children’s Reading Foundation. The Summer Boost program will promote family participation in reading and math by giving away free books and fun items like wristbands, bookmarks and magnets, intended to motivate and remind families to read 20 minutes every day.
Each participating district will receive about 1,000 books to distribute at their meal sites. Wayne County is among 29 other School Districts receiving the Summer Boost Program. Families interested in having their child participate should contact Wayne County local Summer Food Service Department for more information. Meal service sites within Wayne County are currently being determined and will be announced soon.
Summer Boost coordinators also will direct families to KDE’s online Summer Support webpages, which are available to all Kentucky families. The summer support webpages offer information and resources to encourage students and families to make learning a part of daily summer routines. Other resources available on the webpages include information for families and caregivers, along with literacy, mathematics, and gifted and talented resources.
