A little background about this post on how to help your struggling reader: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When my son was in school, the “summer slide” was a hot topic this time of year. Teachers sent home information packets. Moms talked about it in the pick-up area. Even my son asked me what we should do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dreaded “summer slide” was legendary. In case you’re not familiar with the phrase, summer slide refers to the common tendency for school children to lose ground in various scholastic skills during the summer months when school is out.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now that we homeschool, our school year is not a traditional one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We learn all year long and take breaks when we need them (or life requires it). There is no summer slide to have to accommodate or plan for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change in weather does, however, bring opportunities to learn in different and fun ways. This fact has been and continues to be particularly true for my struggling reader.<\/p>\n\n\n
