Summer break is a time of year all kids look forward to. Unfortunately, without mental stimulation from academic activities, students experience a loss of reading, math, and other skills. Experts sometimes refer to this as the "summer slide." According to the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, some children may lose up to two months of progress in reading skills alone over summer. By fifth grade, this can add up to the equivalent of three grade levels' difference.
How can you help your child beat the summer slide? For younger children, make a summer reading list, get them interested in a hobby, and make sure they're getting proper nutrition. High school students can be encouraged to find part-time jobs and volunteer opportunities. But the best thing parents can do for their children is to have them work with a personal tutor.
