Our children have been working hard in school since last September. Don’t let them lose the skills they have worked so hard to build. Children who read over the summer prevent the reading achievement losses that normally occur over those months. Summer reading loss can occur during summer vacation when children are away from school and not participating in a reading program. Studies show evidence that the impact of summer reading loss on children is significant. To avoid this loss be sure that children have access to books that interest them, the more children read, the better readers they become.
