Avoid summer brain drain—keep your kids engaged in learning

JULY 2009—For some kids, the skills they acquire during the school year are ancient history by summer’s end. Without the routine of daily classes, important reading and math proficiency skills can suffer, and as June turns into July and then August, some students find themselves unprepared for the start of the new school year.

It’s a fact that over the summer most students—regardless of family income or background—lose two to two and a half months of the math computational skills that they learned during the school year. Students from low-income homes lose two to three months of reading skills learned during the school year, according to studies conducted by Johns Hopkins University, the University of Tennessee, and the University of Virginia (Washington Post).
