Sending children home for the summer with donated new and gently used age-appropriate books for them to read; hosting short-term reading camps at church or at school; continuing to serve as reading buddies and reading tutors in person or virtually; encouraging and hosting weekly public library visits &#8212; all of these and many more creative ways to keep children learning during the summer will help to close the learning gap based on the economic status of our children&#8217;s families. Watch this video and share this message with others. Let&#8217;s continue to truly be Congregations for Children all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube
