Summer Learning

A Little Goes a Long Way...

When summer finally arrives, the last thing kids want to do is study. Over the long summer break most students experience Summer Learning Loss, impacting academic goals:

  • Loss of study skills causes a difficulty in retaining new information making it necessary for your child to re-learn how to effectively study and retain information.
  • Loss of knowledge and skill sets that your child has worked so hard to attain throughout the previous school year. Many children experience a noticeable deterioration in spelling or an inability to solve certain math problems they would have easily mastered in the previous school year.
  • Loss of handwriting caused by the lack hands-on writing impairs fine-motor dexterity and penmanship.

Most children will fall behind within the first few weeks of the new school year. As they could be mastering new skill sets, students instead battle a deficit that could affect academic performance throughout the entire school year as they struggle to catch up.
