This Summer, Don’t Let Your Child Experience a Summer Slide – Pick a Summer Course at eTutorWorld

Summer slide, also known as summer learning loss, is when the students experience academic loss in the summer break and return to school at a lower academic level than the previous year. This usually happens because in absence of a school schedule during the vacation, children fail to practice their skills/lessons regularly and as a result, forget a lot of what they had learned.

Statistics for the summer slide show that children lose almost a month of learning during the summer break. If you get into details, they lose about 2.6 months of math skills and almost 2 months of reading. Later, when the school resumes, they need almost 6 weeks to re-learn all the lost lessons. Now, that’s a lot of time that could have been used to learn new topics and move ahead in learning.

Advantages of Taking Summer Courses

Summer programs can help children retain what they learned in school before vacations and also enables them to add up to their knowledge base. Your child can avoid a summer slide with a summer course at eTutorWorld. Following are some of the advantages of taking summer courses.

1.       Curriculum Coverup

A student can miss out on a lesson at school or experience difficulty in understanding a topic. With a summer course, you can provide extra aid to your child and help them cover the topics they had missed at school. For example, your child can enroll in Algebra 1 online summer course to revisit the topics and better understand the lessons. Students can attend classes, watch videos and clarify their doubts with the help of experienced Algebra teachers.

2.       Knowledge Retention

Revisiting topics and practicing worksheets can go a long way in helping a student with polishing and retaining knowledge. A well-designed summer course can keep your child on track with the class-level studies and will ensure that the summer slide does not happen.

3.       Skill Enhancement

If your child is academically gifted and has already completed the curriculum for the current class, you can consider enrolling them in the summer course for next year’s topics/subjects. For example, if your child is doing well with Algebra 1, you can go for Algebra 2 summer course. This math summer program will prepare your child for the upcoming grade and its challenges.  

4.       Discipline

Summer months are often bereft of discipline because there is no school and no time table. While it’s ok to make the most of the free time, it’s always great to have a schedule, a fixed time in the day to look forward to. A summer program gives both students and their parents a chance to build a time-table around their class timings. This way, they can stay up-to-date with their learning while enjoying the summer activities.
