Summer Counts: "Over the summer [kids] can lose up to 20% of their reading skills."

Summary: "We know that reading is the foundation for all other learning, and when children are losing those skills it's taking them and their teachers in the fall a lot of time to get caught up." Nancee-Dahms-Stinson, youth service coordinator for the Springfield-Greene County Library. Jenifer Abreu talked to Dahms-Stinson about programs at the libraries to keep the momentum going and keep children learning through reading, audiobooks, and other literary activities.
