summer slide

Summer slides aren’t limited to the playgrounds. It’s also the term for students falling behind in reading and math during summer break, but now experts have advice on retaining that knowledge.

The summer slide can make it hard for students to stay on track with their learning, with some losing up to six months of academic skills.

School’s out for summer, but that doesn’t mean students should leave academics in the rearview mirror. The “summer slide” is real, but it can be avoided.
