Scholastic did a study and found that while 94% of parents agree that reading during summer break can help their children during the school year, only 47% of them are aware of “summer slide” and that reading is a key factor in preventing it.

📚 This lack of understand could be a key contributing factor to why students are not reading over the summer and losing valuable literacy skills by the time they return to school in fall.
