The effects of leveled booklets on summer learning loss for elementary students in western Nashville
This study examined the effects of providing appropriately leveled reading materials to economically disadvantaged students who had completed kindergarten through third grade during the ten weeks of summer vacation at three day care facilities in a western Nashville community. A quasi-experimental design measured the changes in the students' summer pre- and posttest reading levels, compared the influence of the students' perceptions about reading to the changes in reading levels, investigated the parental support of summer reading at home, and compared the impact of the child care facilities' summer reading programs. Although there were no significant differences between the groups, it was noted that child care facilities which provided a minimum of 15 minutes of reading time per day seemed to curtail the regression of reading skills
