What is Summer Slide?

The summer slide refers to the decline in reading and math skills that can occur when children are out of school for extended periods. Studies show that students can lose up to two months of reading skills during the summer. But don’t worry – there are plenty of ways to keep your child’s literacy skills sharp while they enjoy their summer vacation.
