Have you heard the terms, "Summer slide, Summer slump, Summer setback or Summer learning loss," before? What comes to your mind as a parent when you hear these?
Often referred to as summer setback or the summer slide, summer learning loss is when students return to school at a lower academic level than the end of the last school year. This happens when your child doesn't use or practise the skills he or she learned at school during summer vacation.
The first study, “School’s out: The role of summers in understanding achievement disparities,” was recently published in the American Educational Research Journal and examined the magnitude and variability in summer learning loss across grades 1–8. This study found that the average student lost 17–34% of the prior year’s learning gains during summer break, as well as that students who lose ground in one summer are more likely to also lose ground in subsequent summers.
