Greetings!
Welcome to the Land O' Lakes KnowledgePoints newsletter, In The Know. During each issue of In The Know we will provide you with information that will help ensure your child's success in school and in life. We're at the end of another school year - did the year go as well as you'd like for your child? If not, the summer is the time to lay the groundwork for a better year next year! |
Prevent Summer Learning Loss!
Summer is here! For many students, the summer means a 2 to 3 month break from constructive learning.
All young people experience learning loss when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer. On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade level equivalency over the summer months. This equates to a cumulative gap of 2 or more years by the time they reach high school.
As a result, teachers often spend the first 6+ weeks of a new school year re-teaching material to many students...material that was lost during the summer months. Summer programs are an effective intervention for purposes of academic remediation, enrichment, or acceleration.
Take advantage of the summer by enrolling in a program to keep skills fresh, or better yet, experience growth by building new skills. Don't let summer learning loss happen in your household! |
