[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Summer reading study

[Lesley Farmer]

Students from lower SES families progress in reading competence about
the same as advantaged students during the school year, but fall behind
during the summer. This gap grows over the elementary school years, and
may limit their later educational opportunities.Alexander, K.,
Entwisle, D., & Olson, L. (2007, April). Lasting consequences of the
summer learning gap. American Sociology Review.
