Dear Families,
Did you know…?
Students who don’t practice reading or math over the summer lose an average of two to three months’ worth of skills. Over half of the reading achievement gap seen in low-income students can be attributed to summer learning loss. All kids lose an average of one month of spelling skills over the summer.
