How to Avoid the Summer Slide

Do you want to avoid the summer slide?

Now is the time to start planning for the summer.

The summer slide is when students lose some of the knowledge and skills they gained during the school year because they're not actively learning during the season break. Studies show that without practicing math and reading, kids can forget things they learned, making it harder for them when they return to school in the fall. This affects all kids, but especially those from families with fewer resources who may not have access to educational activities during the break. However, by keeping kids engaged in fun and educational activities over the summer, parents can help prevent the summer slide and make sure their children are ready to continue learning when school starts again.

So, what activities can you enroll your child in during the summer?
