Can you believe it? We are already talking about things you can do to help your child avoid summer learning loss also known as the “summer slide.” To help you get a jumpstart on your summer learning plans I wanted to share a few ideas to help kids avoid learning loss over the summer.
Tips To Help Kids Avoid Summer Learning Loss
Here are a few ways you can help your kids avoid summer learning loss, often referred to as “summer slide”.
Consider summer school
I know, nobody wants to think about summer school, but it is something to consider if your child didn’t do as well as they should have during the school year. The last thing you want is for them to lose any bit of learning they did during the school year. They could risk falling even further behind.
Schedule reading time daily
Each day for 30 minutes has the kids read a book they picked out themselves from the library. They should be able to find something that interests them at your local library. Plus it’s a great activity to do with them.
Make them start paying
Money is a great way to keep the kids learning a little math without them knowing it. You can also have them earn money by helping you out around the house. Math is a skill that is easy to lose over the summer, so anything and everything helps.
Cooking and baking together
Don’t forget to cook and bake with your children. This is an excellent way to get those math, reading and science skills going. Plus, when it’s all said and done it sure will taste yummy!
Summer camp
I used to want to go to summer camp as a child, but my parents couldn’t afford to send us. I can’t afford to send my kids every year either, so I do understand, but if you are able to send them to summer camp, it’s a perfect place for them to have fun during the summer months and keep their body and mind busy.
Get them involved in something fun and educational like SUMMER BRAIN QUEST.
Each summer teachers and parents are looking for diverse ways they can help prevent their children from falling into the “summer slide” and losing about two months of grade-level equivalency in math and so many lose some of their reading achievement over the summer. I’m excited to tell you that Brain Quest joins us in the fight against the “Summer Slide” with workbooks targeting each summer between kindergarten and 6th grade. These workbooks are a new and useful tool for teacher, parents, homeschoolers, and tutors.

What is SUMMER BRAIN QUEST?
SUMMER BRAIN QUEST offers a one-of-a-kind learning experience that delivers a personalized learning experience for all types of children. The personalized learning is an education method of exercise that are tailored to each child’s strengths, interests and needs. Brain Quests goal is to empower kids to have a voice in what and how they learn. They do this while ensuring they get plenty of practice with the fundamentals.
SUMMER BRAIN QUEST is structured like a game. Each book includes an excellent pull-out map which guides kids on their learning journey. They will mark their route on their pull-out map when they earn stickers for complete workbook pages and completing outdoor activities. The map has a choice of routes the kids can choose from and go after what excites them. This could be math problems, hands-on science, etc. They do this to help encourage children to move around in the book and follow whatever makes them curious.
You’ll notice the original artwork by Edison Yan, video game artist help makes every book feel fun and fresh. They are some of the most visually appealing books in the market. Each SUMMER BRAIN QUEST workbook has been created in consultation with an award-winning teacher that specializes in that grade. They make sure the exercises are aligned to Common Core State Standards, social studies standards as well as next Generation State Standards.
Mattie enjoyed work on SUMMER BRAIN QUEST! I actually had to tell her to STOP so she would go to bed, lol. Which tells me that SUMMER BRAIN QUEST is going to be a great way to avoid summer learning loss with Mattie.

Summer is Fun. The outdoors are great to have activities with your kids but it is also the best to enhance your kids brain by giving them ample time to educate them more during summer.
Love the game aspect of these books to keep the kids interested. Really important to avoid “summer learning loss” with my kid who’s just learning to read.
This would be a great learning set for the summer! I love the game style of the books to keep the kids interested.
Only three more weeks until my kids are out of school. Hope to win this to keep them on track this summer!
Great, fun books to keeps the kids learning during summer.
Such a great set! Years of great summer learning from these books.
My kids are so excited for summer break to be here already. I’m not prepared yet. This would help so much in planning our weekly summer learning agenda.
Keeping our fingers crossed that we win this set. We’d get a few years out of them for each of my kids. So awesome!
My daughter is sitting with me today and is now keeping her fingers crossed in hopes that she wins these books. Thank goodness she still loves school and learning!
Gotta keep the kids learning over summer break!
I love the summer brain quest because it keeps the kids sharp during the summer months.

I love workbooks like these. I try to find them each year for my kids so we have a little learning thrown in with all the fun each summer.
Brain Quest would be great. It would keep my boys busy and they would have fun learning, too.
This looks like a really great tool that will help the kiddos keep up to date on summer and they love brain quest stuff already!
