While many children spend their summer home with their families, some of them also spend that time losing the education they received the year before. There are a small number of programs in Hall County designed to target summer learning loss, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hall County’s Summer Brain Gain Program and the Read Learn Succeed Summer Reading Program. “The summer loss for our kids is very big,” said Pamela Nealey, curriculum director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hall County.
