SUMMER SLIDE
Summer Slide and the Importance of Reading over the Summer
“Summer Slide” is NOT a fun line dance that you do during June, July or August.
It is actually a serious decline in reading ability and other skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn’t in session.
​
To prevent this summer slide, your local public library offers a well-established summer reading program that encourages kids, teens, and often adults to read over the summer. Educational and fun activities throughout the summer are an important feature of the programs—and they’re free. Contact your nearest public library to find out more about its summer program.
