“Research suggests that on average, summer vacation creates a 3-month gap in reading scores between middle- and low-income children. In addition, “There is clear and consistent evidence that school-based summer and other out-of-school-time reading programs can be effective in preventing summer learning loss and improving reading achievement” (Rafferty, E, et al. 2015, July 15.
