Summer Learning Loss
(Benefits of Summer Enrichment Programs)
By Janet Shekhtmeyster
Parents and educators often voice concerns about summer learning loss and the negative impact of summer vacation on student learning. Research suggests that students learn best when instruction in continuous. Long summer breaks can often disrupt the rhythm of instruction, which leads to forgetting, and requires a significant amount of review of materials once students return to school.
Several research studies suggest that utilizing summer months properly can improve academic achievement. A review of literature found differences on the effects of summer vacation on different skill areas. Specifically, the effects of summer loss were more profound for math overall and for spelling, both tasks which involve acquisition of factual and procedural knowledge. Cognitive psychology emphasizes that such knowledge is more susceptible to forgetting . In addition, summer is a great time to prepare students for transition. Summer Bridge Programs are indented to ease the transition into middle school, high school, and college and have been show to improve academic skills, motivation for learning, enhance self-esteem, and decrease discipline problems .
The studies above suggest that summer enrichment programs are necessary for continuous academic achievement, but what they exclude is the sufficient condition for improving achievement, which is "quality." Additional studies suggest that the crucial issue seems to be how the summer time is used, with the quality of instruction being the key.

As one proud parent said, "Linda got the true "end result" that no one talks about at Harvard Westlake. Her results in biology, physics, chemistry, Algebra 2, AP US History, AP Spanish Language, AP Spanish Literature, English, and philosophy were outstanding. Then she went to Columbia University and you were able to help her get A's in every class." (Dina & Gary - Harvard Westlake Parents)
