Effects of Summer Break on Math and Spelling Performance as a Function of Grade Level.

Allinder, Rose M; And Others

Elementary School Journal, v92 n4 p451-60 Mar 1992

The effect of summer break on mathematics and spelling performance of second through fifth grade students were assessed by comparing aggregated curriculum-based test scores administered in the spring and fall. Results indicated second and third grade students regressed in spelling; not in mathematics. The reverse was true for fourth and fifth grade students. (Author/BB)
