Did You Know? Research shows that kids who don’t engage in reading over the summer tend to lose some of the academic skills they worked to develop during the previous school year. This effect is known as “summer slide.” Achievement gaps can develop between students who read over the summer and those who don’t. Library summer reading programs offer a fun way for kids to beat summer slide and keep their reading skills sharp for the new school year.
