It is very important to keep up with the learning process during the summer, especially for young children who are still learning the basics. Josiah has been learning his alphabet, sounds and numbers. If he went a few months without practice, he wouldn't retain much by the next school year. Research shows that children can lose up to 2.5 months of learning during the summer, which causes teachers to re-teach those skills the following year for 2-4 weeks! It's important as parents and caregivers to make sure this doesn't happen. Here are some fun facts about education and why it is important to practice during the summer break.
This summer we can do our part as parents to refresh our children's skills and that's where Carson-Dellosa comes into play. Their products, such as the Summer Bridge Activities items, help kids prepare for the upcoming school year and keep their skills sharp throughout the summer months!

Our dd will be starting pre-school in the fall so we really haven't had to take a break from learning! We play games every day that help her with her numbers and letters. Her cousins (who she sees after they are out of school) are really good working with her too!

We homeschool so we are ALWAYS doing school! :-) But over the summer I let the kids guide what we learn and do more "fun" stuff!
We read, and that is about it, but they are only 2, 3 and 4. We start kindergarden in the fall.
my little grandson loves the library!

We are working on my son's reading!
My daughter isn't quite 2 yet, so we do things like go to the zoo to learn animals. :)
We always do a lot of reading in the summers. I'm getting ready to start homeschooling so this would be so awesome to try out!!
We love to be outdoors, going to parks and doing scavenger hunts! :)
We like to practice our math, go to the zoo, and learn about nature in our own backyard.
Thank you,
