In addition the year-round program, Reading to Learn also hosts a summer program. Activities include: sports, writing, spelling, foreign languages, chess, and more.

There is a fee for the services, and that goes to pay the teachers and other necessary expenses, but the direct has said that they do work with children whose parents can't afford tutoring or educational help.
