Believe it or not, your children may actually increase their reading skills over the long summer vacation. But it’s a different story in math. Your children’s skill level can go down by as much as two months. This is one of the main reasons that every school year begins with close to six weeks of review of what was taught the previous year. Obviously, the more math that your children do this summer, the sharper their math skills will be when they return to school. If they need some help with basic math skills, go to our website and search for that skill (addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.)
