MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - The state is officially kicking off its 2023 Summer Learning Challenge.

For an 11th year, the Alabama State Department of Education is partnering with some of our nation’s top education organizations to promote summer learning and activities. The goal is to minimize the summer learning slide.

The 2023 Alabama Summer Learning Challenge is being held from today until July 31. Additionally, starting today, Alabama parents have access to even more online resources that will assist in advancing their children’s reading, math, and science skills.

The resources are easy to access and are aimed to encourage students throughout the summer while they are away from the classroom.

The Alabama Summer Learning Challenge is partnered with the following organizations that will support the program:

The Lexile-based “Find a Book, Alabama” tool offers students over 260,000 books to choose from. This book-search tool allows students and parents to build custom reading lists based on the student’s Lexile range and personal interests https://hub.lexile.com/find-a-book/search
