Pasadena Summer Tutoring FAQ
Summer learning loss is a hot topic lately. What is it? Summer learning loss can be described as when young people lose their academic skills over the summer break. This could equate to losing two months of math skills and two months of reading skills. It can take up to two months once the child gets back into school to get them back on track, and teachers spend up to six weeks at the beginning of each school year re-teaching old material so students can re-learn what was lost.
