Summer Learning Tips/Edu Topia
Working with children over the summer and providing information to parents is important so the children do not regress over the summer. This article provided helpful tips to prevent the loss of knowledge during the summer especially to low income families. Some simple things to do over the summer were reading, scavenger hunts, and flash cards. I feel that the article provided simple tips that will really help those students during the summer. The tips are also created at little to no cost to the parents which is a plus.
This article has some great strategies for parents and students to use in the summer months to hopefully curb the loss of information over the summer. We spend the first month of school in August and September determining students prior knowledge so we can create our lessons meeting the needs of our students. How nice would it be to not have to spend so much time on previously learned topics. These strategies mentioned in the article are definitely worth sharing with parents and the community going into the summer months.
