While the critical importance of summer reading loss is receiving more attention than in the past, not all summer reading programs are alike. Featuring three new chapters and extensive updating, the second edition of this groundbreaking book describes current research that confirms the importance of key elements in the authors’ summer reading model that are essential to ensure gains for low-income, low-achieving students. Allington and McGill-Franzen—acknowledged experts on reading, remedial reading, and special education—describe multiple models of effective summer reading and book distribution initiatives. They also provide research-based guidelines for planning a successful summer reading program, including tips on book selection, distribution methods, and direction for crucial follow-up.

Contributors: Richard L. Allington, Lynn Bigelman, Maria Cahill, Jennifer M. Graff, James. J. Lindsay, Anne McGill-Franzen, Geraldine Melosh, Natalia Ward, Lunetta M. Williams

“With several new chapters and features—and revisions throughout—the second edition is even more useful than the first.”
—Nell K. Duke, University of Michigan

“Reading about the many ways real schools have reversed summer loss by providing children access to books will have you saying to yourself, We can do this!”
—Pat and Jim Cunningham, Wake Forest University and UNC–Chapel Hill
