THE   SUMMER   SLIDE

Any Teacher will tell you that at least the first month back to school they will spend that time reviewing skills that should have been accomplished during the previous school year.  Very few students in the class do not need this review but the majority do.  Some students have slid so far back that they need to be retaught certain skills completely.  

So to help your child not be a "summer slider" having them see a Tutor during the summer or part of the summer to review skills with your child so that they do not have a problem starting out the school year.  If they accomplish reviewing all of the skills the Tutor can even introduce them to some of the new skills they will have when the school year starts.

TEACHER'S    INFLUENCE

A Teacher's influence is important to a student as well as for their parents.  A Teacher needs to encourage students as well as their parents.  Many times a parent will be disappointed because their child is not doing as well as another student in their class.  A nice way to put a parent at ease in this situation is saying we can't force a child to get older or grow taller, so we can't rush other aspects of their development.  Things will happen in their own time and we have to be okay with that.  Just enjoy  each phase of  their childhood.

SCHOOLS

OUT

FOR   THE

S U M M E R!!!

Hope your child had a very worthwhile school year.  Now is when all schedules change and things become more casual.  Children love the freedom they feel when they know the school year is over.  Let them relax and take all the pressure off from the school year.  After a couple of weeks they should get on the bandwagon and start reading books on their reading level.  If your child had some academic difficulty during the school year now is the time to think of getting your child a Tutor too help them achieve mastery on their previous years academic skill.  

A  TEACHING  MOTTO

Hopefully your child had a Teacher this year that inspired them and told them that some challenges can be very easy and others very hard.  Though with, the Teacher's guidance they were going to tackle it and progress through it.  Having a Teacher with a strong desire to help EVERY student in their class succeed builds a child's self-esteem.  When they feel good about themselves the challenges are not so overwhelming.
