My Summer Learning Loss x 4
An article I read today has got me thinking. According to an article in LD online, research by the foundation Reading is Fundamental (RIF) suggests that children who do not read over the summer experience a loss of reading fluency and comprehension skills, while students who do read actually gain skills. In addition, the author throws in, students lose more than two years of grade level equivalency in math if they are not stimulated.
Shocking, right?
