How to Avoid Summer Learning Loss


Most parents think that if their children relax during summer break whether that is through vacationing, sleeping, playing video games, or just doing whatever they choose that their child will be well-rested and ready to start the school year off with a bang!

Unfortunately this is so far from the truth students can lose anywhere from he last 2 to 3 months of what they learned in the previous school year. So to put that into perspective if your child gets out of school at the end of May they can lose everything that they learned from March -May if they are not receiving some type of academic enrichment during the summer months.That is a huge heaping of information that your child is losing. How can you avoid the summer learning loss? It is simple enroll them in summer enrichment or an academic summer camp or work with them yourself on enrichment. Over the next few days we will provide you with information on our summer enrichment/ camp programs as well as give you some tips on what you can work on with your children.

Some of the things you can do are as follows:

  • Make time for learning - incorporate learning in everything that you do with your child but also set aside some time for just learning such as reading 30 minutes per day or working on Math 30 minutes per day.
  • As the teacher for the standards that will be covered the next school year or look them up on the school district's website and focus on the areas in which you know your child has trouble.
  • Hire a tutor who can work with your child.
  • Enroll them in a summer enrichment program or camp.
