With summer in full swing, many parents may have to deal with summer slide. Summer slide is the potential loss of skills and habits their child could experience from participating in intentional academic activities. This lapse in activity can affect children academically, socially and behaviorally.
To prevent academic summer slide, children and their families can participate in several activities and strategies to stay engaged.
Reading for 20 minutes a day - Reading is like a muscle, skills can weaken if not used consistently, and they take time and practice to build
Cooking - Find a recipe you both love and see how it taps into multiple areas - math (measuring ingredients), reading (recipe directions) and science (cause and effect of things like raising dough, solids to liquids and flavor combinations)
Playing Games - Board games, card games, and physical learning activities offer a fun low-pressure way to keep your child’s brain active (and yours!). Games also offer bonding time through conversation, and laughter.
Math - Yahtzee, Uno or Dominoes
Reading - Scrabble, Boggle or storytelling games
Critical Thinking - Strategy games like chess, checkers or logic puzzles
Journaling - Writing activities reinforce language skills. Encourage your child to write a letter to a friend from school or write reviews of books and movies your child enjoys
A more consistent summer routine can help prevent summer slide and that can aid with regulation and being ready to learn once they return to school. For more information on the summer slide go to sources like edutopia, IXL Learning and scholastic.com.

Julie Billiart Schools has helped my child become a better version of himself. The teachers and therapists at JB really know and understand how to reach children who learn differently.
JB Parent
All of the teachers and staff at JB are patient and willing to take the extra time to make sure we, as parents, understand and are comfortable.
JB Parent
Julie Billiart Schools gave us hope after our daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability. At JB, she thrived in the small classes, received necessary therapies, and developed the self-confidence to ask for help when she needed it.
JB Parent
They have all the resources necessary, specialized to the individual learning of each child, and the heart that goes with it. I don't think we would have stayed in Ohio if it wasn't for JB!
JB Parent
I don’t think I will ever be able to put into words how grateful I am that you saw my daughter for all that she is today and all that she is yet to become.
