SUMMER READING Room 

READ 718’s Summer READing Room is a 6-week program in July and August that offers students entering grades 3-8 the opportunity to practice fundamental reading skills, promote engagement in reading, and prevent “summer slide.” Each READer works one-to-one with a trained volunteer for one hour two days per week during scheduled afternoons on Mondays/Wednesdays or Tuesdays/Thursdays.

Summer READing Room will take place July 6th - August 13th, 2026 in both our Boerum Hill and Bed-Stuy locations as well as remotely.

Hourlong time slots in the afternoons will be announced soon.

This program is for READers in grades 3-8.

Payment for Summer READing Room is a sliding scale for eligible families. The fee is either $25, $65, or $100 for the 6 week cycle. Families choose.

WRITING WORKSHOP
