Life feels a little less hectic for most. But academically, summer is a risky time for stu- dents losing ground on what they just learned in school. According to research, the best predictor of sum- mer loss or summer gain is whether or not a child reads during the sum- mer. And the best predictor of whether a child reads is whether or not he or she owns or has access to books and is motivated to read them. Children from low-income fami- lies are hit the hardest. They have less access to books and do not tend to engage in ongoing enrichment activities over the summer. Sadly, their reading achievement can decline an average of three months. Over time, that gap accumulates and sets them even further behind by middle school. The good news is, summer read- ing can help. Studies show that chil- dren who read as few as six books over the summer can maintain the level of reading skills they achieved during the preceding school year. The key is to let kids choose books they enjoy and want to read. Scholastic.com has reading lists by age group that are tar- geted to engage reluctant readers. have to be just books. Kids should be encour- aged to read recipes, newspaper articles, let- ters, comic books and anything else that uses their skills and promotes good conversation and discussion.
