Parent to Parent: Preventing the Summer Slide
Description
Research shows, on average, children’s reading skills regress by 25% over summer vacation. Math skills also suffer during this break in learning and it typically takes teachers anywhere from four to six weeks to get students back on track in the fall. Educators commonly refer to this phenomenon as the “summer slide”. This workshop will uncover simple ways parents can engage their children in educational activities during the summer without them even noticing they are doing it!
