School is out for summer! Learning continues…
84% of teachers say students forget or “lose” skills, knowledge, or grade-level equivalency over the summer. Over time, summer learning loss can really add up: by the end of 6th grade, those who have lost reading skills are on average 2 years behind their peers. This summer slide is especially critical for those children without access to summer learning programs, who are more likely to spend summers on the couch in front of a television instead of going to camp or engaging in educational activities with their parents.
For this reason, extending the school year has become the issue du jour for many prominent education experts. “There’s a small positive effect on kids when they go to school year-round and a much larger effect on students who are struggling,” says Harris Cooper, Ph.D., chair of the psychology and neuroscience department at Duke University and a summer-learning expert.
