Summer Reading

Research shows children lose one to three months of learning during the summer, and that loss can be compounded every year. Ron Fairchild and Dr. Loriene Roy discuss how to make the most of summer learning.

I'd like to know what research the statement is based on. Thank you.

Visit the website for the National Summer Learning Association, which is Ron Fairchild's organization. . There you'll find a research section, as well as a "Know the Facts" section that includes research citations.

summer reading is unfair. It is not easy to get the books that want you to get, And the books that r left are abotu 400 pages long. Im in the 10th grade and a book that long would take me all summer. Most parents beleve that summer reading is unfair and that giving us all this work is choking us. They need to cut down on the summer books to at least one, because most of us are just trying to relax and have fun. That's what summer is for!
