Create a Student Curriculum to Keep Your Child’s Skills Sharp
Students can lose up to 40% of what they learned during the school year over summer break. That’s months of progress — in math facts, reading skills, grammar rules — simply forgotten by the time school starts again. With Simple Solutions, you can use a summer student curriculum to prevent this learning loss with brief daily practice that keeps essential concepts fresh.
Just 10-15 minutes a day ensures your child returns to school ready to move forward, instead of spending weeks relearning what they already knew in May. Keep reading to learn more, or get in touch with our team today to start a conversation.
Summer Solutions: Designed for Home Use
While our classroom resources are designed for schools, Summer Solutions is specifically created for families. These workbooks review and reinforce the grade level your child just completed, maintaining skills over the summer break.
All materials in this individual student curriculum are designed for independent use with minimal parent involvement, which is perfect for busy summer schedules.
How Summer Solutions Works
Our summer student curriculum uses three research-proven strategies to help your child retain what they’ve learned:
- Retrieval Practice – Rather than passively reviewing, your child actively recalls information, which is the same process that made learning stick during the school year. This strengthens memory and prevents forgetting.
- Spaced Practice (Spiraling) – Important concepts reappear throughout the summer at strategic intervals. Regular review in small doses maintains proficiency without overwhelming your child during vacation.
- Interleaving (Mixed Practice) – Each session mixes different types of problems and skills, keeping practice engaging while reinforcing the flexible thinking students need when they return to school.
This approach takes just minutes daily but makes a significant difference in fall readiness. Students who maintain skills over summer start the new school year confident and prepared, while others spend weeks catching up. Take a closer look at our approach here.
