Support Your Your Students Students This This Summer Summer With With Support
READING & WRITING BOOST
This year, more than ever, Learning without Tears is supporting your students in and out of the classroom environment. We are helping to combat the summer slide and boost literacy skills by combining some of our favorite writing materials with beloved children’s books. At-home instructions and additional free resources are also included, encouraging students to read and write all summer long!
The decline in students’ abilities to read over the long summer break inhibits how effective teachers can be in the fall. Teachers have struggled with this rift for years—but it doesn’t have to be this way! Regular exposure to literacy enrichment and engaging students with quality resources can help build a bridge to student success in the fall.
…if families and educators encourage kids to stay engaged in learning throughout the summer, students may not only maintain, but improve their knowledge. Source: Psychology Today, July 6, 2020
