Summer Slide Prevention Guide
As Summer is in full effect, and family regimes change, parents might be wondering about how to avoid losing all of the learning their kids did during the school year. According to the National Summer Learning Association, which invests in summer learning to help close achievement gaps, all students experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer months. Most kids lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills. The “Summer slide” refers to the loss of school over the Summer, however, it can be prevented. Ensuring that your child is building essential reading and math skills will provide a solid foundation for their future.
Parents can explore these free online resources so that Summer can be a time of learning and growth for your child.
