"Summer Slide" occurs when kids fall behind in reading and math over the summer.  It is well-documented, cumulative and most common in children from low-income families.

Research shows that while gaps in student achievement remain relatively constant during the school
year, the gaps widen significantly during
the summer.  ➤ ➤

DONATE TO CO-OP SUMMER

High-quality summer learning opportunities can support and improve a young person’s social, academic, physical, and emotional development.
Conversely, youth who lack access to summer enrichment experience not just slowed
development, but experience an actual decline in skills over the summer months.  This has cumulative negative impact from year to year.
