Avoiding "Summer Slide"

5/23/2019

Unfortunately, summer slide isn't code for an exciting pool game! For a lot of students, the summer means falling behind in core subjects. So what exactly can students lose over the course of a two-month summer vacation? 
  • 2.6 months of math skills.
  • 2 months of reading skills.
  • Multiple grade levels of abilities.
  • Over time, summer learning loss can create a performance gap of two to five years by high school. 
  • It also costs teachers and students time the following school year.
  • 4 to 6 weeks: Average time it takes to re-teach students the lost material in the fall. 
  • And the summer slide overwhelmingly affects kids from lower income families more than others. By the end of fifth grade, students from lower-income families are often 2.5 years behind their peers. 

However, there is hope. Check out the info-graphic below for ideas on how to help your student avoid the summer slide!
