Our students have been working hard all year and made incredible literacy gains with the support of Reading Partners' consistent tutoring. Now, we must support them with tools to stay on track throughout the summer.

Summer learning loss puts the retention of academic growth at risk. The good news: research shows that reading just five books during the summer may keep a young reader from regressing between school years.

Every year, Reading Partners Los Angeles distributes summer reading backpacks filled with books, bilingual activities, and literacy resources to our students to mitigate summer learning loss. Our backpacks will provide hundreds of Reading Partners students and families across Los Angeles and Pasadena with high-quality, diverse books that are tailored to their reading levels, interests, and career aspirations.

Your support will allow Reading Partners to distribute over 3,000 books to keep students reading all summer long.
