School’s Out. Reading Stays In.

Today may be the last day of school, but learning doesn’t have to stop.

Did you know that reading just 15–20 minutes a day during the summer can help prevent the “summer slide” and keep children confident and prepared for the next school year?

Here are a few FREE resources available to local families this summer:

📖 Hillsborough County Public Library Summer Reading Program

📖 myON Summer Reading Challenge

📖 Beanstack Reading Challenge

📖 Summer reading lists from the Florida Association for Media in Education

At PCAT, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident reader. Throughout the summer, we’ll continue sharing reading tips, resources, and activities to help families keep literacy fun and engaging.

What book is your child reading this summer?

The moments in between are often the ones we remember most.

From excited smiles and proud families to awards, celebrations, and unforgettable memories, graduation day was filled with so many special moments at our Ruskin and Sulphur Springs programs.

We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for the families, teachers, volunteers, and supporters who help make these milestones possible. Thank you for being part of the journey and celebrating with us.

Behind every student success story is a team of caring educators, volunteers, mentors, and supporters who make it possible.

This special gathering was a time to celebrate and recognize the incredible people who pour their hearts into PCAT throughout the school year. Their dedication, encouragement, and commitment create meaningful opportunities for our students every single day.

Thank you to all of our teachers, volunteers, and staff members for the impact you make. You are appreciated more than words can express.

There’s nothing more meaningful than hearing directly from families about their experience.

Watching students grow in confidence and strengthen their reading skills is why programs like PCAT matter so much. Hearing parents share how their children are progressing and discovering new opportunities reminds us that every lesson, every volunteer, and every moment of encouragement matters.

Thank you to the families who trust us to be part of their journey.

It was a day filled with smiles, performances, proud families, and so many special moments honoring the hard work, growth, and confidence these students have built throughout the year.

Programs like PCAT are about more than literacy, they’re about encouragement, opportunity, and helping students believe in themselves.

Congratulations to all of our graduates, we are so proud of you and all that’s ahead.

As the school year begins to wind down, it’s important to remember that learning doesn’t have to stop over the summer. 📚☀️

Educators often talk about the “summer slide” when students can lose some of the reading progress they worked so hard to build during the school year. Continued reading, storytelling, library visits, and simple learning activities can help children stay confident and prepared for the next school year.

At PCAT, we believe literacy is a year-round journey, and even small moments spent reading together can make a lasting impact.
