As summer approaches, many parents are looking for activities to keep their children busy instead of staying home the whole day playing with their gadgets or watching telenovelas with their yayas. It is an ideal time to take a break from the usual school routine, but also an opportunity for students to learn outside of the traditional classroom and pick up new interests along the way.
Studies have shown it is important that learning should not stop even when school is out. Educators have found that a learning gap called the “summer slide” occurs in the summer vacation months. Rowie Matti, Galileo Learning Program CEO says, “students could lose up to two months of literacy and math skills, especially at the preschool and grade school stage.” This is crucial, as this could affect their foundation for learning and affect their academic performance in the long run.”
