Defeating the summer slide can be accomplished in a lot of different ways. One of my personal favorites is the summer reading program that is held annually at our local library, Gail Borden. Like most local libraries, the summertime offers a lot of opportunities to engage with kids from the community and build a love of learning (especially reading)!

Brayden signed up for a summer of “paws-on” fun at our local library and we are excited to see what kind of progress he makes over the next few months. This is him with Clifford, the 9 foot tall dog they have on display to grab attention and bring people in. It definitely worked!!!
