Research shows that during the summer, the average student loses between 17% to 34% of what they learned the previous school year.
That trend is even more pronounced for economically disadvantaged students.
On Midday Edition Wednesday, we speak with members of two local literacy programs working to combat summer learning loss and promote a love for reading.
Guests:
- Jose Cruz, CEO, San Diego Council on Literacy
- Dr. Marsha Spitzer, medical director, Reach Out and Read San Diego
