With summer vacation started or on its way, as parents or
guardians, it's important to ensure that reading remains
on your child's schedule even while school is out. Reading
over the summer is important not only because it
improves literacy and language skills, but also because it
prevents what has become known as the "summer slide"
- a regression in reading ability.
Studies show that children who don't read or who read
rarely over the summer encounter a stagnation or decline
in their reading skills.
