East St. Louis – To encourage summer reading, State Senator Christopher Belt (D-Swansea) is launching a Summer Reading Club for children and young people who live in the 57th State Senate District.
Belt is launching the club to counteract summer learning loss, which occurs when students “turn off their brains” during the summer months.
“It’s important for kids to become stronger readers to succeed in school and life,” Belt said. “I hope this book club encourages healthy brain development and lifelong learning.”
Studies indicate that 2 months of reading skills and 2 ½ months of math skills are lost over a single summer.
