Episode Synopsis
Send us your thoughts about this week's episode!Have you noticed your child's reading and math skills slipping over the summer? Dr. Tiff and Coach Val share their personal experiences with the "summer slide" and discuss how summer breaks impact children's academic performance. We'll explore a study from scholastic.com that highlights significant knowledge loss during summer, affecting student achievement every year. You'll learn about the challenges teachers face in re-teaching old material at the beginning of the school year and discover effective strategies to keep your kids engaged in learning during the break.Join us as we examine how summer learning loss impacts students across different grade levels and socioeconomic backgrounds. Discover how younger children might retain more due to simpler learning tasks, while older students struggle with compounded educational gaps. We shed light on the disproportionate effect on students from low-income families, which widens the achievement gap. Our discussion emphasizes practical summer learning strategies that parents can incorporate into everyday activities, moving beyond traditional worksheets to combat this issue. We also reflect on how technology and social media have changed the way children spend their summers compared to previous generations.
