Hello,
The school year has come to an end, the days are longer, and camps are gearing up for days and days of summer fun! This certainly is a wonderful season for trips, vacations, and family time. In fact, our main article this month will give you some great ideas for family travel games.
With such a change in schedule, it is important to keep in mind that learning must continue. Research reveals that on average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Reading skills fare a little better in that students who are readers can actually increase their scores, but non-readers lose a month or more.
At Foundation for Learning, we strongly believe that summer months provide an excellent opportunity to fine-tune skills learned the previous year and to learn skills that will be taught within the first few months of the upcoming school year. It's also a good opportunity to complete summer reading novels while learning how to manage time and analyze text. You can read more about the benefits of summer tutoring in the article below.
Have a safe and wonderful summer, but give us a call or shoot us an email to keep on learning!
