For more than 100 years, researchers have studied the effect summer vacation has on student achievement. Countless studies confirm that children experience learning loss while they are not actively engaged in academic activities when school is out of session. Organizations, teachers, and parents who provide children with opportunities to reinforce basic skills and prepare for the coming year give those students a significant advantage. The award-winning Summer Bridge Activities™ is the perfect way to keep skills sharp all summer long and prevent the “summer slide.”
