Keeping youth fullyengaged throughoutJune, July and Augustcan prevent whateducators refer to as’summer slide’. Thiscommon phenomenonrefers to the loss ofmath and literacy skillswhen young minds arenot engaged outside ofschool. In fact, youthcan lose up to three
months of these skills during the summer, which means their backtoschool performance is behind where they ended in the spring.
Here are four great ways to keep kids learning and growing allsummer long:
1) Explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Math(STEM): You don’t need a lab coat or a Bunsen burner to implementactivities that help to promote critical thinking. Have fun exploringchemistry in the kitchen, take kids on a nature scavenger hunt at alocal park or spark learning about polymers by mixing corn starch andwater to make ooblek!
2) Read together: The summer is a great time to enjoy books. 30 minutes of reading a day goes a long way!
3) Master mathematics: Practicing fractions through baking, learningabout basic computation through cooperative game playing andcreating art projects involving tactile math are just some of the ways tomake math magical this summer. Even the youngest children canget involved by playing games that involve pattern andsequence.
4) Become global citizens: Exploring the amazing diversity of ourown communities can lead to a greater understanding andappreciation of a wide variety of cultures. Let kids taste foods andplay music from different countries and cultures, or attend a festivalcelebrating countries youth would like to learn more about.
Combining beloved summer fun with engaging learning keepsyouth interested and involved all summer long, so they returnto school in the fall on track and ready to learn more.
