What is the point of summer reading?
Overall, summer reading programs really do improve kids’ reading skills and increase their desire to read. Additionally, according to the School Library Journal, those who participate not only mitigate any summer learning loss, but they even show gains.
How many books should I read in the summer?
As with many trends found in the Kids & Family Reading Report, the number of books read over the summer varies widely by age (See figure 2b): kids ages 6–8 read an average of 19 books; that number drops to nine among 9–11s, six among 12–14s and two among 15–17s.
How old can a kid read?
Most children learn to read by 6 or 7 years of age. Some children learn at 4 or 5 years of age. Even if a child has a head start, she may not stay ahead once school starts. The other students most likely will catch up during the second or third grade.
How much learning do students lose over the summer?
By the summer after seventh grade, students lose on average 36% of their school-year gains in reading and a whopping 50% of their school-year gains in math. In other words, summer learning loss increases with age through elementary and middle school—a troubling trend that should be examined further.
How many books should students read per year?
That’s still 26 books in one year, more than you probably realized you could complete. Even if you read 20 books in one year, you are still reading much more than the average person. Speaking from personal experience, setting the goal of reading 52 books in 52 weeks in November of 2013 was a life-changing experience.
