The COV-ID 19 pandemic has shifted our community, families and children into a virtual space without any supports for educational success. Virtual learning is failing children and families and as a member of this community, I feel it is my duty to assist parents and families to strengthen literacy skills in the summer months, when students typically lose about one year of their instructional learning level, and are sinking further behind as a result of the pandemic and the shift to virtual learning, which has not been a great help to most students nor their families at this time.
