WHY SUMMER READING?

Students who do not engage in regular reading over the long summer break may experience a decline in their academic performance. This loss of learning can be cumulative and by the time a struggling reader reaches middle school they may have as much as a two-year deficit in achievement attributed specifically to a lack of summer reading. While those who read frequently over the summer not only avoid the “summer slide,” but experience achievement gains! (Kids & Family Reading Report: The Summer Reading Imperative, Scholastic, 2019) We want all of our Gators to experience reading gains this summer!
