Over the summer students experience a loss of the academic gains they made over the previous year called the summer slide. Our brains really are like muscles, and when we don’t exercise them, they tend to lose their form. Math formulas are forgotten, new vocabulary lost and the summer slide puts students a little further back each year.
What The Studies Show
A recent report from the National Summer Learning Association has this to say about summer academic loss: “A conservative estimate of lost instructional time is approximately two months or roughly 22 percent of the school year.” While a certain amount of loss happens in all academic abilities, it seems to be most pronounced with math and reading abilities.
Better Learning Means a Better Life
You don’t need to get your kids learning every day over the summer to maintain their academic levels or even move them ahead of the class. Just a couple of hours a week is all they need. Find a one-to-one tutor who will work to their individual learning style and help them fill in the missing building blocks.
The summer is also the perfect time to help your student to brush up on their executive skills. These are the organizational and study skills they need to be exceptional independent learners. Skills like task prioritization, organization and time management will mean that your student has the requisite skill set they need to work on their own next semester.
