"Without reading, kids lose an average of one to three months of achievement over the summer. By the end of 6th grade, children who do not read over the summer are as much as two years behind other kids who do."
(McGill-Franzen, A., & Allington R. (2003 May/June) “Bridging the Summer Reading Gap” Instructor 112 no.8)
