Back to School!
Are they ready?
School holidays over summer break is a great time for children to take a well-deserved break and have loads of fun. But do you know, children with that extended break can result in lose knowledge and academic skills?
More often than not, when school reopens you will notice a demotivated child for school, lower confidence in numeracy, and playing catch up to some of the materials thought last year.
But don’t worry. Your child isn’t the only one. Often referred to as summer learning loss, or summer slide, is due to the extended break in children learning pattern that leads to them forgetting. Teachers often find themselves spending weeks re-teaching materials students have already learnt prior to summer break.
