    Summer Slide

    What is the summer slide?

    “Research shows that many students fall more than two months behind in math over the summer, and low-income children fall behind two months in reading while middle-income kids make slight gains. Johns Hopkins University researchers recently found that 65 percent of the achievement gap between poor and more advantaged children is due to unequal summer learning experiences during elementary school years. A recent Ohio State University study shows children also gain as much weight during the summer as they do during the entire school year. The problem is worse for African-American and Hispanic kids, and for those already overweight.”

    – Johns Hopkins University

    “Scholastic’s “Summer Challenge” website has actvities and reading lists to “Stop the Summer Slide!”  You can sign up for e-mail alerts and you can download reading lists.
    Summer can be a season full of fun memories, good times . . . and declining reading scores. Research shows that students who don’t read over the summer typically score lower on reading tests when they return to school.What’s the solution? It’s simple: Read four or more books.”
