Keep Kids Learning (and Laughing!) This Summer 🌞📚
Clever Noodle TeamICYM: June Newsletter!
Excerpt:
You've probably heard whispers about "summer slide (learning loss)" at school pickup or seen those slightly panicked Facebook posts from other parents. Maybe you've wondered if it's actually real or just another thing to add to your parenting worry list (spoiler alert: the list is already pretty long).
Studies show students can lose between 25-30% of their school-year learning over the summer, with reading, writing, and math taking the biggest hits (Brookings Institution, 2023). That's like spending nine months building a sandcastle and watching the tide wash away a quarter of it.
On average, students lose 25%-30% of school-year learning over the summer!
🎉Good News Alert!
It only takes 15-30 minutes a day to keep those brain muscles flexed. That's less time than it takes your kid to decide what to watch on Netflix! (Children at Risk, 2023)
