(FRANKFORT, KY) – Thirty-five sites in 34 school districts will be participating in the 2026 Summer Boost: Reading and Mathematics Program, a partnership between the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) and the Summer Food Service Program.
The program will promote family engagement in reading and math by providing free books and digital access to math games intended to motivate and remind families to make summer count through reading and math engagement during the extended school break. Each of the participating food service programs will receive approximately 1,000 books to distribute at their meal sites.
Families interested in having their child participate should reach out to their local Summer Food Service department for more information about meal service sites within their district.
KDE’s Summer Support webpages also offer information and resources to encourage students and families to make learning a part of their daily routines in communities across Kentucky. Other resources available on the webpages include information for families and caregivers about literacy, mathematics and gifted and talented resources, as well as goal setting for summer reading and tracking sheets for elementary and secondary students.
