The original summer slump study follows the children participants from kindergarten spring into first grade fall. The student participants had to pass a language assessment to determine their proficiency in English to then proceed on to a reading assessment (phonological awareness, familiarity with print, letter/word recognition, sight word, recalling, interpretation, and evaluation) to determine literacy scores. Then a multivariate linear regression with the ordinary least square method determined the literacy rates. The reading related summer activity data was collected through a questionnaire given to the parents in the fall of first grade for their child (not at all, once or twice, 3-6 times per week, and everyday).
