WHY SUMMER LEARNING?
Students Fall 2 Months Behind
During the Summer Months.
During the Summer Months.
"Research spanning 100 years shows that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer."
(White, 1906; Heyns, 1978; Entwisle & Alexander 1992; Cooper, 1996; Downey et al, 2004).
Summer Learning Gap Increase for Low Income Students.
"More than half of the achievement gap between lower - and higher -income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities.
(Alexander et al, 2007).
