School is out and summer break is finally here — for most of us! As we look forward to enjoying the warm weather, maybe taking a vacation or two, or even getting a break from the chaos that is the end of the school year, this is a season of opportunity for all the young minds out there. However, as we all know, most kids see summer as a chance to give their brains a break and, while this is essential, it is equally important to keep their minds active and learning.
Here at Pitsco, we concern ourselves with a phenomenon known as the “summer slide," where kids can lose significant amount of academic progress made throughout the duration of the school year. In order to prevent this, we have come up with three effective strategies for you to try at home! This includes participating in summer reading programs, enrolling in educational camps, and utilizing apps and online learning platforms. Together, we can create an environment where your child continues to learn, grow, and stay engaged.
