Summer Reading Partners

Studies show that summer reading loss can result in economically disadvantaged students falling 2.5 to 3 years behind by the end of elementary school. The Summer Reading Partners (SRP) initiative was designed to reduce summer reading loss by partnering with summer camps, programs, and childcare centers that serve economically disadvantaged PreK – 4th students. SRP partners commit to embedding a minimum of 20 minutes of literacy time into their daily activities at least 4 times per week.

In 2023, this initiative was handed off to the Nashville Public Library to sustain through their ongoing programming in the community; click here to read the SRP summary report. Thank you to our many A-Team members and partners over the years for your commitment to this initiative!
