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.
