New Program LAUNCH: Super Summer Readers
The Najim Family Foundation, The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio, SA Youth and San Antonio Youth Literacy (SAYL) are launching the Super Summer Readers Program that focuses on the importance of summer reading. Conceived and funded by Harvey E. Najim, the purpose of the Super Summer Readers program is to assess the impact that adult reading mentorship and guidance can have on youth reading progress, especially during the Summer months when academic learning loss can be prevented. The pilot program will include 500 rising 3rd, rising 4th, and rising 5th-grade students and aims at preventing the lower academic achievements that are seen at the start of a new school year then they were at the beginning of summer break.
