across all grade levels in Reading. Çigdem et al. (2022) identified various

factors contributing to learning loss among middle school students in Turkey.
Nicola (2022) discovered a pronounced learning loss in both Reading and

Mathematics, with the most pronounced effects observed in students in Grades

Eight and 13. Furthermore, it was revealed that even though Grade Five
students exhibited learning loss, it was comparatively less severe than that was

observed in Grade Eight and Grade 13 students.

Andreu's study (2022) delved into the examination of learning loss in

Mathematics, the Basque language, and the Spanish language. The results
indicated that Mathematics exhibited a higher degree of learning loss

compared to the two language subjects. Notably, since the Basque language

served as the second language for students, experienced a greater extent of a
learning loss when compared to the first language, Spanish.

Turker's (2022) research also noted a significant difference in the scores
between the subjects of Mathematics and Turkish language due to school

closures. Interestingly, one of the six articles in the study reported no

discernible learning loss when assessing reading skills in Swedish primary
schools before and during the pandemic.
