School ended yesterday for my daughter. Did you know that kids could lose up to 2.5 months of learning throughout the summer? This can make for a rough start to the school year for kids, parents and teachers but it is fully preventable with just a little learning each day.
According to a study by Johns Hopkins University, by ninth grade, then lack of summer learning can be blamed for roughly two-thirds of the achievement gap.

I plan on encouraging reading books, going on walks in the parks and exercise.
There is nothing better than experience and activity to help kiddos learn! We will be taking trips to the library, zoo, park and various other places. You can teach them anywhere!
my son’s teacher gave us a calendar of one thing to do each day to refresh his memory of the things he’s already learned
Educational games!

We do 4-H in the summer which helps. We have also done these Summer Bridge Books in the past..they are wonderful and well worth the time.
I do learning time every day with my boys in the summer. I’ve collected quite a few workbooks, learning games, and a phonics reading set. Thanks for the great giveaway!
During the summers we count and name things on our walks, watch nature change as it gets closer to school starting again and fall. Along with games.
