summer slide

Armando interviews owners or key personnel of more Summer Camp providers.  Find out what these specific providers have available and whether or not their program might be for your child this summer.  Each provider explains what it is that kids and families can expect from their camps.  Also discussed is the ideal recipe for your child’s summer growth consisting of fun and games with the addition of an academic progress program tailor-made for your child's specific needs or requests.  No "cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all" academic program for you. This summer your child can grow stronger physically, learn new skills or sharpen artistic talents while also making academic progress to be ready for the new school year in the fall.  Help your child avoid the "summer slide" loss of knowledge experienced by so many students over the summer.

Many kids with learning challenges love summer vacation — and their parents do, too. It’s a nice long break from studying, homework, and the classroom. And it can leave kids feeling relaxed and better equipped to learn once fall arrives. But when kids press “pause” on learning altogether, they may lose some of what they’ve learned throughout the year and experience the “summer slide.” 

In this episode of The Opportunity Gap, we break down the summer slide. And we explore how parents and educators can prevent it from happening. Listen as special education teacher Kate García, MEd, explains:  

• Why parents should meet with their child’s teacher before summer break
• How following a summer routine can help kids stay on track
• Ways to help kids learn without sacrificing fun

Whether it’s a long Winter Break, Spring Break or Summer Break, it’s important to understand that your child could lose academic skills simply because their brain is not being exercised and stretched enough to keep the momentum of what was learned during the time leading up to the break. That’s why after every long break, teachers spend days sometimes weeks re-teaching children how to behave in school, classroom expectations, and other routines that they may have forgotten. Much of this time is also spent reviewing the previous year’s content in order to rejog their memories so that they can begin building upon skills once learned. To minimize academic regression for your child, I talk about some things you can do to prevent what educators call the “Summer Slide”.

Summer camp providers present several very different options parents can choose for their kids this summer.  Each provider takes five minutes to explain what kids and families can expect from their camps, including the personal growth benefits for kids.  Also discussed is the ideal recipe for summer growth consisting of fun and games with the addition of an academic progress program tailor-made for each child's specific requests or requirements.  No "cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all" academic program for your child. This summer your child can grow stronger physically, learn or sharpen artistic or creative skills and make academic progress to be ready for the new school year in the fall.  Help your child avoid the "summer slide" loss of knowledge experienced by so many children over the summer.  Help your children gain strength, better their artistic or creative skills and increase their knowledge and confidence for school readiness in the fall.

In today’s episode, I speak with Kristen Vibas, an ELL teacher from Virginia who I met on Instagram. Kristen has been teaching since 2005.
She shares how she went from aspiring actress to ELL teacher, and shares peeks into her classroom. You will love the tips and strategies she has developed on how to support multilingual students and how to teach reading to ELLs as much as I did.

Both content teachers and ELL teachers will find this episode valuable as reading is such a critical part of learning in all subjects.

What you will learn about how to teach reading:

• The 5 components of reading 
• Reasons why reading is such a difficult domain for many students to master
• Tips and strategies for teaching reading to ELLs
• How reading instruction differs between younger and older students
• Suggestions for avoiding the dreaded “summer slide” with reading skills

Hello Podcast Friends!
Welcome to another episode! In this episode I share with you some of my ideas and experience with making summer fun for everyone. 

This episode is almost like a part two to Episode 16, so if you haven't listened to that episode, you want might to give it a listen! 

I will share with you why routine remains important, even in the summer, even for your older child and why you don't have to have perfect activities to engage your child every day. 

I will also share with you the most important activities you can do with your child all summer to prevent the dreaded summer slide in their progress. 

So join me for a short and sweet summer episode! Make sure to find me on instagram and email me with any questions at:
learningtakesflightmontessori@gmail.com 

Thank you!

Dr. Joan Mele-McCarthy from the Summit School talks with Claire Kovacs from Chesapeake Family Life about what parents can do to help their kids retain school knowledge over the summer and prevent the dreaded summer slide.
