SUMMER
BLAST OFF!
Save The Date: May 16, 2020
In 00, more than mitigating the summer slide, the community
will champion reading gains, with partners and children all
working toward the same goal to help children from birth
through 3rd grade, especially those from asset-limited families,
succeed in life by ensuring they read on grade level!
Last year, the Suncoast Summer Reading Challenge Blast Off
was an inspiring and motivational training event for summer
providers working with the Suncoast Campaign for rade Level
reading SCLR.
More than 300 individuals experienced outstanding educators
presenting replicable lessons designed to inspire team building
and a love of learning. https://www.gradelevelreadingsuncoast.

During Summer 01, to avoid the summer slide, SCLR
engaged our four-county region and partnered with summer
camp providers and summer learning academies.
