Growing and and learningSummer is a great time to keep learning, and the effort you put in to keeping your kids engaged and growing can make a big difference. According to a Psychology Today analysis of research, "The evidence is clear: Children do forget skills and knowledge learned in the previous school year. But if families and educators encourage kids to stay engaged in learning throughout the summer, students may not only maintain, but improve their knowledge." ("The Summer Slump: Do Kids Backslide During Summer Vacation?".
