It's summer and the living is easy. Right? Well, yes. We've got beaches, water parks, cool festivals, free movies and music. We love NYC summer. What we don't like is "brain drain," or "summer slide." No matter what you call it, the phenomenon of students losing months of math and reading skills during the eight-week summer vacation is scary. So we're partnering with the New York Public Library as it kicks off its Summer Reading Challenge 2016 to keep kids learning and engaged throughout the summer. Check out their reading lists for kids (and adults) and our articles on STEAM-fun and more in NYC.​
