Book excerpt: Over the summer months students forfeit their reading skills when not engaged in literacy activity. This loss of reading skill is much more pronounced in poor children, especially from minority communities. This loss has been dubbed "summer slide." "Summer slide" is synonymous with the ethnic achievement gap. This gap expands over the summer. Summer reading loss studies have also found that there is no real variance in literacy gains between rich and poor children during the school year, yet every summer poor children drop two to three months in reading skills while their higher-income classmates make modest gains. Researchers recommend interspersing literacy activity throughout a family's summer vacation, so their children will return to school reinvigorated, enthusiastic, and motivated to pick up where they stopped in June. This study explored the following questions, "What are the teacher and parent perceptions of the effectiveness of a summer reading program on underprivileged youth?," and "How did the summer reading program artifacts function as a set of systematic processes to interact with the mission of the program?" This case study, which is a multi-method qualitative approach to research involved the study of a case within a real-life, contemporary context or setting. The goal of this study was to analyze the teacher and parent perceptions of the effectiveness of a summer reading program engaging urban low-income elementary students. This study found that, in the eyes of parents and teachers, this summer reading camp overall was successful in bolstering campers' literacy skills over the summer, less some minor issues that needed to be improved in the area of discipline techniques.

Book excerpt: Summer vacation is an opportunity for students to relax from the academic demands of school. Unfortunately, during the summer break, student literacy skills decline, and growth is limited. This decline is especially significant for high-poverty students within urban public school districts. High-poverty students lose, on average, 3 months of academic learning over the summer months while other students gain or stay the same (Stein, 2016). Participating in an intensive reading program and engaging in academic experiences similar to those of their advantaged peers minimize summer reading loss (Schacter, 2003). The purpose of this program evaluation was to examine the impact a revitalized summer school program has on reading achievement for high-poverty students. This research used a mixed-methods approach. The quantitative portion of the study was conducted to determine the impact of summer school on summer reading loss for high-poverty students. It was measured by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). The Standardized Test for the Assessment of Reading (STAR) was used to measure the impact of the summer school instruction while teacher perception surveys and curriculum trainer interviews tracked the overall effectiveness of the summer school curriculum and implementation of the literacy strategies. The findings of the program evaluation revealed that some students made gains or avoided summer reading loss, while more students than not continued to make declines. While the findings did not completely support the author’s anticipated outcomes, this study adds to existing research of summer school programming and characteristics deemed necessary for effective summer learning experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite long-term and ongoing efforts to close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and advantaged students, low-income students continue to perform at considerably lower levels than their higher-income peers in reading and mathematics. Research has shown that students' skills and knowledge often deteriorate during the summer months, with low-income students facing the largest losses. Instruction during the summer has the potential to stop these losses and propel students toward higher achievement. A review of the literature on summer learning loss and summer learning programs, coupled with data from ongoing programs offered by districts and private providers across the United States, demonstrates the potential of summer programs to improve achievement as well as the challenges in creating and maintaining such programs. School districts and summer programming providers can benefit from the existing research and lessons learned by other programs in terms of developing strategies to maximize program effectiveness and quality, student participation, and strategic partnerships and funding. Recommendations for providers and policymakers address ways to mitigate barriers by capitalizing on a range of funding sources, engaging in long-term planning to ensure adequate attendance and hiring, and demonstrating positive student outcomes.

Book excerpt: A growing body of evidence indicates that the test scores of low-income children drop significantly relative to their higher-income counterparts during the summer months. This study finds that a well-implemented summer learning program can improve reading skills and increase the extent to which parents encourage their children to read during the subsequent school year. These findings provide some support for investments in out-of-school time programming for low-income children during the summer, such as those currently coming from the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program and the Supplemental Services provisions of Title I of the "No Child Left Behind" Act. This study used random assignment, the gold standard of evaluation methods, to evaluate the effectiveness of the Building Educated Leaders for Life (BELL) program--a summer program designed to improve academic skills, parental involvement, academic self-perceptions, and social behaviors among low-income children and families. Over 1,000 elementary school children who applied to BELL summer programs in New York and Boston in 2005 were randomly chosen to be in either a treatment group that was selected to participate in the BELL summer program, or a comparison group that was not. Independent researchers collected student reading tests (Gates-MacGinitie) and student and teacher surveys. The study found that children in the BELL treatment group gained about a month's worth of reading skills more than their counterparts in the comparison group during the summer. This is a modest, yet notable increase in reading skills for a six-week program. The study also found evidence of positive impacts on the degree to which parents encouraged their children to read. No impacts were found on academic-self perceptions or social behaviors. Overall, this study provides scientifically rigorous evidence regarding the ability of the BELL summer program to improve the reading skills of low-performing elementary school children. Few out-of-school time programs have produced evidence of effectiveness when evaluated in such a rigorous manner. The results are of particular importance given the longstanding public policy focus on raising achievement levels of low-income students. The following are appended: (1) Changes from Original Analysis Plans; (2) Adjusting for Time in School before Test; (3) Robustness Tests; (4) Supplementary Tables; and (5) BELL 2005 Parent Survey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research evidence suggests that summer breaks contribute to income-based achievement and opportunity gaps for children and youth. However, summertime can also be used to provide programs that support an array of goals for children and youth, including improved academic achievement, physical health, mental health, social and emotional well-being, the acquisition of skills, and the development of interests. This report is intended to provide practitioners, policymakers, and funders current information about the effectiveness of summer programs designed for children and youth entering grades K-12. Policymakers increasingly expect that the creation of and investment in summer programs will be based on research evidence. Notably, the 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) directs schools and districts to adopt programs that are supported by research evidence if those programs are funded by specific federal streams. Although summer programs can benefit children and youth who attend, not all programs result in improved outcomes. RAND researchers identified 43 summer programs with positive outcomes that met the top three tiers of ESSA's evidence standards. These programs were identified through an initial literature search of 3,671 citations and a full-text review of 1,360 documents and address academic learning, learning at home, social and emotional well-being, and employment and career outcomes. The authors summarize the evidence and provide detailed information on each of the 43 programs, focusing on the evidence linking summer programs with outcomes and classifying the programs according to the top three evidence tiers (strong, moderate, or promising evidence) consistent with ESSA and subsequent federal regulatory guidance.

Book excerpt: This study examined teachers' perceptions of the impact of poverty on learning to read and the practices that were utilized to successfully close the reading achievement gap with low socioeconomic students in elementary schools. One hundred nineteen teachers, kindergarten through sixth grades, participated in this study. Data were collected with an online survey and open-ended questions completed by 119 participants, as well as, interviews conducted by a research assistant with five participants. This study identified: (1) teachers' perceptions on how poverty affects learning in reading in grades K-6; (2) instructional strategies that work best to teach reading and support students from low socioeconomic backgrounds; and (3) practices, other than instructional, that are successful in improving reading performance and supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The results suggested that the participating teachers agreed that poverty affected students' achievement in reading and caused deficits in their learning starting at an early age. Furthermore, the results of the study revealed that teacher participants believed that smaller instructional groups, more resources, increased parent involvement, and parental education positively influenced low socioeconomic students' reading achievement. The study also recognized other strategies that teachers perceived helped in closing the reading achievement gap in elementary students. Finally, the findings from this research revealed that teachers recognized the causes of the achievement gap and specific efforts that could assist in shrinking the gap for students living in poverty.

Book excerpt: Children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to lack reading proficiency. These students tend to have lower reading proficiency because they experience a decline in reading comprehension over the summer months, known as summer reading loss or summer slide. Prior research explains the effects of the summer slide and summer enrichment solutions but there is a lack of research on the perceptions of summer slide from the communities affected. The purpose of this ethnographic research is to explore perceptions of parents, school personnel and community members about summer experiences of students from low-income families to understand how summer literacy enrichment could impact summer slide and literacy retention of students from low-income communities. Through the conceptual framework lens of social constructivism, this study will explore the experiences of 10 parents of elementary-aged students, 2 community members and 9 school personnel, to understand their perceptions of summer experiences with summer literacy enrichment and summer learning loss. This study focuses on the following research questions: (a) how does the experiences and perspectives on summer learning from elementary parents/guardians uncover the behaviors of the low-income community on literacy enrichment during summer vacation? (b) how do members of the community describe the academic supports their neighborhood school provides that assist students in retaining their literacy skills across the summer? (c) How do school personnel describe strategies to reduce the loss of literacy skills during summer vacation for young readers [children]?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summer schools serve multiple purposes for students, families, educators, and communities. The current demand for summer programs is driven by changes in American families and by calls for an educational system that is competitive globally and embodies higher academic standards. This monograph details a research synthesis that uses both meta-analytic and narrative procedures to integrate the results of 93 evaluations of summer schools. These and other findings are then examined for their implications for future research, public policy, and implementation of summer programs.
