Want to Avoid The Summer Slide And Learning Loss?
With finals and the end of the school year rapidly approaching, now is the time to put together a plan for continued learning this summer! Summer Learning Loss, also known as the Summer Slide, continuously threatens the hard work your student has put in throughout the school year. One study suggests that students in grades 1-8 lose 17% to 34% of the prior year’s learning over summer break.
The Summer Slide Impacts Students of All Ages.
Students in elementary school need continued practice of this year’s skills. They benefit from a preview of next year’s content. Students leaping into middle school or high school benefit from additional support in their more challenging courses. Summer is an opportunity to develop stronger writing skills or learn key study skills critical to juggling their more difficult course loads.
