Preparing your child for grade two while aiming to avoid summer learning loss.
The first step to preparing your child for grade two while avoiding summer learning loss is to not stress about it. As parents, we often worry about ensuring our children are on track with their learning. That worry can become increasingly more vigorous with the concerns around pandemic learning loss.
Then there’s the concern about summer learning loss and how most children lose 2.6 months of math skills, two months of reading skills and the equivalent of one month of overall learning during the summer.
