K-8 NMPED Summer Reading Program
APS has partnered with the NM State Public Education Department for the 2025 NM Summer Reading Program. This will provide free structured literacy instruction to all APS, Charter, Private, and Home School incoming Kindergarten through 8th grade students.
What is Summer Reading Program?
New Mexico’s Summer Reading Program is an innovative free program set to empower students from incoming kindergarteners to outgoing eighth graders with focused reading instruction in small groups with trained literacy instructors. This program is being offered free to New Mexico families because reading interventions work. Students who receive focused instruction can get caught up in important reading skills and gain the confidence they need to be successful in all school subjects. Our goals are simple: enhance literacy, track reading progress, and boost confidence and skills in literacy.
