Enriching Education - Combat Summer Learning Loss

 As the school year comes to a close, many parents are concerned about summer learning loss. To address this critical issue, we have an opportunity to share valuable insights and practical strategies from Neeru Khosla,  Founder of CK-12, a leading educational platform committed to providing free high-quality educational content. 

CK-12 under Khosla, has served over 307M users worldwide since 2015 a respected voice in and has dedicated her career to ensuring that all students have access to the resources they need to succeed. She believes that with the right support and tools, parents can play a pivotal role in mitigating the effects of summer learning loss. 
 
Here are some of her top tips:
 
> Set a Routine: Establish a summer schedule that includes dedicated time for academic activities. Consistency helps children retain information better and reduces the transition time when school resumes.
 
> Incorporate Real-World Learning: Turn everyday activities into learning opportunities. Cooking can teach math and chemistry, while trips to museums or nature walks can enhance science and history knowledge.
 
> Engage in Interactive Learning: Utilize completely FREE resources like CK-12’s FlexBooks and interactive simulations to keep children engaged. These tools make learning fun and can be easily integrated into daily routines.
 
> Encourage Reading: Promote a love for reading by providing a variety of books that interest your child. Libraries often have summer reading programs that can be both fun and educational.
 
> Stay Involved: Regularly check in with your child about their learning progress. Encourage them to set goals and celebrate their achievements, no matter how small.
