The summer is a great time for children to play, relax and socialize with friends. It can also be a time when children lose some of what they learned during the school year.
Some psychologists and educators refer to the “summer slide” as the loss of learning that can happen over the summer months, when children are out of school. This loss in learning mostly affects math and literacy skills. Some studies suggest that children can lose up to a month of academic learning over the two months of the summer.
