Our school is a Title 1 school in Michigan where over 40% of the population is low income. My colleagues and I have the privilege as the Special Education teacher, Response to Intervention Coordinator, and Title I Intervention teacher, to work with students in grades K-5 each day. Our students work with us in small groups and we also work within the classroom to provide extra support to these wonderful hard working students. The school year will be over before we know it, and these students will no longer have this additional support during the summer months. Providing valuable learning resources is imperative to minimize what researchers/educators often refer to as "Summer Slide." "More than half of the achievement gap between lower- and -higher-income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities. (Alexander et,al, 2007).
