summer reading for kids

Why is Summer Reading Important for Kids?

“Summer slip” is a widespread, informal expression that causes parents and instructors to worry about their students’ development and retention over the two months of summer vacation. This notion of pupils “regressing” from the level they attained after the school year while at home during the summer is anchored in the developmental reality of our young students. Practice is necessary to transform newly acquired abilities into familiar, useable skills and habits. From September through June, kids participate in supportive literacy activities at home and school. Still, they must continue reading during the summer, at the very least, to maintain their development. So why is summer reading so advantageous to your children?
