Promoting Summer Learning

Posted On Friday June 28, 2019

Research notes that “on average, students could lose approximately 1-3 months worth of learning during the summer months." The loss of learning, can be upsetting for children who have worked hard during the school year or impact one's self confidence if a gap in learning already exists.

You can prevent the "summer brain drain" by actively taking advantage of everyday interactions and "teachable moments" to make learning fun.
