As students go back to school this fall, many of them will return having lost much of what they learned the previous school year.

It’s known as “summer slide” and has a heavy impact particularly on kids from lower-income families.

July 12 is National Summer Learning Day, and activities all over the Lehigh Valley were planned to help bridge the learning gap.

WFMZ’s Alexandra Hogan was at Roosevelt Elementary School with more on a program to help.
