May is finally here. This school year is coming to an end, and it looks like we will be back to “normal” (whatever that is) next year. Summer is a time for kids to explore, relax, and participate in unstructured fun. However, it is also important that children do not lose the educational momentum they gained during the past year. Reading, solving math problems, crafting, and journaling will help your child maintain these important skills. A few minutes of review each day will save you and your kids months of frustration when they return to the classroom in the fall.
Math Practice
According to Psychology Today, students can lose one to three months of learning in math over the summer. Finding the appropriate math practice can be difficult. Each Summer Solutions lesson reviews a variety of skills and uses three research-based strategies: retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving. Combining these strategies makes Summer Solutions the perfect all-inclusive workbook for your child.
“The evidence is clear: Children do forget skills and knowledge learned in the previous school year, and research is telling us more about the factors that contribute to those losses. But if families and educators encourage kids to stay engaged in learning throughout the summer, students may not only maintain but improve their knowledge.”
