CODE Summer Literacy & Numeracy Project
CODE Summer Literacy & Numeracy Project
Since 2010 the Council of Ontario Directors of Education continue to coordinate and provide leadership for a summer literacy and numeracy learning program funded by the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat, Ontario Ministry of Education. This successful and worthwhile summer learning program is intended to support students in the primary grades who would benefit from engaging and interactive literacy and numeracy instruction during the summer months. In conjunction with the summer learning program, there is a significant research study to examine the factors that minimize summer learning loss and close the achievement gap. Students are invited by school staff to the summer program and parents are actively involved. During the three years, reports have been published on the success of the summer learning program. As well, a program and planning guide has been developed to support boards as they implement summer programs. In addition, a number of resources have been developed by boards and are posted on this website.
Summer Literacy Learning Report 2010
Background
Within the educational community, both provincially and nationally, there has been widespread interest regarding the impact of summer learning loss on student achievement, and closing the gap for students with lower levels of literacy skill development. An initial scan of the literature on summer learning loss would indicate that to date there have been few, if any, major Canadian research studies to determine the variables that support summer learning and the degree to which students benefit through participation in a teacher instructed summer literacy program.
In the spring of 2010, the Council of Ontario Directors of Education ("CODE") was contacted by the Chief Student Achievement Officer and Assistant Deputy Minister, Student Achievement Division to coordinate the organization of a Summer Literacy Learning Program for grades 1, 2 and 3 students in invited Boards.

Rapport sur le projet d'été de littératie 2011 dans les écoles ontariennes
Durant l'une des visites in situ du programme d'été de littératie 2011, une enseignante nous a expliqué que l'une de ses grandes victoires était d'entendre des enfants dire à leurs parents « Je veux revenir demain » et « C'est déjà fini? ».
Au moment de rédiger notre rapport, nous n'aurions pu trouver de meilleur titre que les paroles prononcées par un élève du programme. L'école d'été est synonyme de plaisir, de respect de soi, d'écoute de ses besoins, de confiance en soi et d'acquisition et de maintien de connaissances et de compétences.
