Summer learning loss hits struggling readers hardest.
Every summer, kids can lose one to three months of reading progress, and summer learning loss hits the hardest with children who already work twice as hard just to keep up.
Every fall, school data captures this loss. The good news is that you can prevent this from happening to your child. Research shows that a few minutes of reading several times a week holds the line. You don't need a curriculum, or a summer school setup at your kitchen table to get there.
After listening to this episode, you'll:
Know how to protect your child's reading gains
Turn one simple setting into a daily reading workout
Build a low-pressure summer rhythm that prevents summer learning loss
Host Tracy Young specializes in older students, and she keeps every strategy warm, doable, and free of shame.
If a podcast isn't enough and you want an individualized plan for your child, reach out today at https://theliteracykeys.com/contact/. Tracy works virtually with older students using a structured Orton-Gillingham approach built for their age, and she'd love to talk about your needs.
If this information was helpful, please share it with one more parent who's watching the summer slide creep in, and follow the show so you never miss an episode.
Cheers,
Tracy Young
