This summer there is a major initiative to keep kids engaged and learning all summer long with some great resources. I’ve go a full press release plus links to those resources below.

PBS KIDS OFFERS FREE RESOURCES TO FUEL LEARNING THIS SUMMER

Multiplatform content and partnership activities provide families with tools to prevent the “summer slump” and inspire exploration
