Summer Homeschool Curriculum
Summer learning does not have to mean summer school. Whether you want to prevent summer slide with 30 minutes of daily practice, run an enrichment-only program, or take a full break and review in the fall, the right approach depends on your family.
Prevent summer slide with light-touch homeschool curriculum. Math review, reading programs, enrichment projects, and flexible summer scheduling.
Preventing Summer Slide
“Summer slide” is the documented loss of academic skills during long breaks. Research from the Brookings Institution shows students lose an average of one to three months of learning over summer, with math skills declining the most. The effect is cumulative. by 5th grade, students who experience summer slide each year can be nearly two grade levels behind peers who maintained learning year-round.
