Summer Slide

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I have put together a website that has a multiple intelligence survey you can take for each of your children and help them
get books that will support their learning strengths and weaknesses so they can get a head this summer with books
they will beg you to read.

Here is an outside article about the problem of summer learning loss

Summer Slide – Loss of Learning on Summer Break

If children are not learning in the summer, they risk falling behind in school.
Parents need to cultivate learning all year long with summer enrichment activities.

One of my favorite resources is 10 terrific weeks. It is a program that pairs a
10 week guide full of fun educational activities with a themed set of Usborne books. As your children
read the books and participate in the interactive program, they will learn and retain more information
about each subject. You will be amazed at the results!
