Energy Express is a free award-winning, six-week, summer reading and nutrition program for children in first through sixth grades living in West Virginia’s rural and low-income communities. This program aims to prevent the “summer slide,” in which children regress in their reading skills because they aren’t learning during the summer.
This will be our first year for Summer Bridge. In partnership with WVU Extension, who invented Energy Express, and the Steubenville City Schools as well as the Steubenville and Jefferson County Public Library, our program is being designed by those who have experienced Energy Express, local parents and reading specialists, we are certain to see as much success as Energy Express.
