- Young people can lose 2-3 months of progress in reading achievement over the summer
Kids engaged in summer reading activities are better prepared for the new academic year, show improvement in spelling, writing style, vocabulary and grammatical development. The number on books read during summer is consistently related to academic gains - 33% of kids who read during summer recess are more likely to read at grade level compared to 185 of non-active readers. Reading also offers opportunities to discover books that are not associated with classroom lessons; allowing kids to expand their horizons and discover new story genres.
