The “summer slide” is the phrase often used to describe the learning loss that many students experience over the months-long summer break. In fact, it’s estimated that students can lose up to 20% of their academic knowledge and skills over the course of the summer, putting them in a position of disadvantage once school resumes in the fall.
Fortunately, there are many ways in which students can keep their minds sharp over the summer holiday—from peer book clubs to academic camps. At Forest Hill Tutoring, we offer a diverse range of language, math, and science enrichment programs to help extend student learning deep into the summer.
