Prevent the Summer Slide with Ongoing Learning

Summer Learning: Keep Skills Sharp and Prevent the Summer Slide

As much as we all love summer break, it can come with a hidden challenge: the summer slide. This is the learning loss that happens when students take a couple of months off from their studies. Without regular practice, academic skills can fade, often setting kids back by months – especially in subjects like English.

Over the summer, without consistent reading or learning activities, it’s easy for kids to forget some of the skills they worked so hard to build during the school year. But don't worry, I'm here to help!

Even a little bit of learning can make a big difference. Whether it's reading a fun book or brushing up on grammar and punctuation, staying engaged can help keep your child’s skills sharp and prevent that slow start when school rolls around again.

I offer flexible, optional summer lessons designed to maintain progress, keep things fresh, and make learning enjoyable. If you're planning to take a break in July or August, we can work together to create a schedule that ensures your child stays on track.

Let’s make sure your child is ready to hit the ground running come September!
