The
Summer Slide
Research
has shown that the “Summer Slide” occurs when children do not continue to read
over the summer.
· 100%
of students experience summer learning loss if they don’t engage in educational
activities over the summer.
· 25%
of academic learning is lost by children during summer vacation – U.S. Dept. of
Education.
· 4-6
weeks is the time it takes teachers to re-teach material that students have
forgotten over the summer.
· 2.6
months is the average learning loss per student in math and 2 months is the
average in spelling.
· 2/3
of the achievement gap between ninth graders can be explained by summer
learning loss during elementary school years.
· 3
years out of the first 5 years of school is the cumulative impact of summer
learning loss.
