Don't Let All That Hard Work Fall Through The Cracks This Summer - Avoid the Summer Slide!

It's hard to believe another school year is coming to a close! For students and their families, the last week of school is always a whirlwind of activity – making sure final projects are turned in, enjoying end-of-year celebrations, getting yearbooks signed, and starting to dream about summer vacation plans. After putting in so much effort over the past months, the sunny and relaxing days of summer are finally within reach.
 
But for parents, the end of the school year can also be a time of concern – how will we keep our child from experiencing the dreaded "summer slide"? Over the long summer break away from the classroom, research shows that kids can lose a significant amount of the academic skills and knowledge they gained during the previous school year. On average, students lose about two months of math computational skills every summer. Reading proficiency can decline as well if kids aren't actively reading and practicing literacy skills.
 
That's why summer is the perfect time to consider enrolling your elementary student in tutoring sessions. Quality one-on-one tutoring can provide the regular skills reinforcement students need to avoid the summer slide and start the new school year ahead of the game. Working with an experienced tutor allows your child to:
 
• Review and solidify any shaky concepts or trouble areas from the previous grade
• Get customized, targeted practice and instruction based on their precise needs
• Preview and get a head start learning skills for the upcoming grade level
• Develop stronger math fundamentals, reading fluency, writing abilities, and more
• Build confidence, good study habits and a love of learning
