While some children want extra allowance money or maybe a new video game for good grades, 9-year-old Ry’Ael Holmes wanted only one thing as a reward for a successful report card: to write and publish a book.

When she took home straight A’s to her mother, Jennifer Robinson, she got her wish, and “Small Tales From Ry’Ael: A Series of Short Stories (Volume 1)” was born.

The 9-year-old author read her collection of five short stories Thursday as part of National Summer Learning Day to rising kindergarteners, first-graders and second-graders at Emma E. Booker Elementary. The students are enrolled in the Summer Learning Academy, a free six-week Monday-through-Thursday program in which students spend their summer learning and working on skills for the upcoming school year to prevent the dreaded “summer slide,” the tendency for students to lose some of the achievement gained during the previous school year.

As students go back to school this fall, many of them will return having lost much of what they learned the previous school year.

It’s known as “summer slide” and has a heavy impact particularly on kids from lower-income families.

July 12 is National Summer Learning Day, and activities all over the Lehigh Valley were planned to help bridge the learning gap.

WFMZ’s Alexandra Hogan was at Roosevelt Elementary School with more on a program to help.
