Strategies to Share: How to Stop the ‘Summer Slide’ and Keep Learning Alive

After an encouraging year of learning growth and recovery, we want to prevent our children from slipping down the "summer slide." This phenomena refers to when students decline in their academic skills when not actively engaged in school learning during break. But educators and caregivers at home can be proactive in stopping the slide through preventative strategies before the break, engagement strategies throughout the break, and remedial strategies after the break. Strategies like “rose, bud, thorn” and “Kiva Panels” not only set the stage for skills retention, but also build mindsets for readiness and resilience that inspire academic growth throughout the summer. Watch the recording to learn more about these strategies.
