Research shows that children can lose 20–30% of the reading progress they made during the school year if they don't read over the summer. This decline, often called the “summer slide,” is entirely preventable. In fact, reading just four to six books over the summer can help students maintain—and even strengthen—their reading skills.
Explore the recommended book lists and reading-time goals for each grade level below. And be sure to check out the Summer Reading Bingo Challenge at the bottom of the page for a fun way to keep reading all summer long!
