The “summer slide” may sound like fun, but it’s definitely something you’ll want to keep your kids far away from this summer! It’s a phenomenon teachers know all too well – the loss of knowledge and ability that typically occurs when formal education stops during the summer months.
During the summer, kids (yes, even GT and TAG kids) can lose an average of 2.6 months of grade level equivalency in math computation skills and 25% of their reading skills. Mental training can improve the brain, just as physical exercise can improve the body. So, here are some tips to keep your kids from “losing it” over summer break.
In this webinar, you'll learn:
What parents can do to prevent the "Summer Slide"
What skills children need to exercise over the summer to prevent the "Summer Slide"
How and why to incorporate physical activity into mental exercises
Prepare for the start of a great school year over summer break
How to determine gaps and areas to focus on over the summer
