Summer reading. . . engages and excites youngsters as it raises literacy levels.
New York State Education Commissioner David Steiner

The research is clear that children who don't read during the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, long-term effect.

In a 2009 government web cast, U. S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan described summer learning loss as “devastating.” This is what researchers have often referred to as the “summer slide."
