Children can lose up to two months of essential math and reading skills during the summer months but there is plenty families and caregivers can do to support learning during the summer so your child doesn’t lose the skills they worked so hard to learn in school.
All Lackawanna County Libraries are participating in a summer learning program called SummerQuest. Children and families can use an online/mobile application to log their reading minutes throughout the summer and complete fun themed activities. Individual libraries throughout Lackawanna County are offering unique prizes for certain milestones.
