End of School Year Often Ignites the Start of "Summer Slide" in Math and Reading
TEANECK, N.J., June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As school dismisses for the summer, students of all ages look forward to the carefree days of summertime, but many kids experience what is called the "summer slide." Studies show that kids can lose up to two months of learning. Kumon, the world's largest after-school math and reading program, is offering free registration at participating learning centers from June 1-30 to help students continue learning through the summer months.

While a break from the mental taxation of school is needed, challenging children year round is the key to having a strong start the following school year.
"Students can avoid summer learning loss by keeping their minds active and absorbing new knowledge," said Dominique Ciccarelli, Ed. M., education specialist for Kumon North America. "Continuous study throughout the summer helps ease students into the new school year with sharper skills and enables them to tackle new challenges."
The Kumon Program aims to guide children to a point where they not only reach their grade level, but surpass it. In fact, many Kumon students study material one to three years above their school grade levels in math and reading.
Through continuous Kumon study, students become self-motivated, independent problem solvers. Daily Kumon study helps boost confidence and improve study habits, providing benefits that last a lifetime.
