Student and Volunteer Success Stories

"The Homes for Children summer reading program helped me with my reading comprehension. The books that we read were very interesting and the teacher made reading fun." ~Myonna

"I didn't think that I would like attending the Reading Camp but I had fun reading the books and meeting new friends. During the summer, I read 5 books." ~Carter

In 2018, 96 percent of our Summer Camp students did NOT experience the summer slide! That means they maintained or grew their reading skills and went back to school ready to learn.
