Dear Families,
According to Johns Hopkins University, the effects of summer learning loss can result in nearly a three-month loss in grade-level equivalency in math and a two-month loss in grade-level equivalency in reading.
As a result of the school shut down, estimates suggest students will return in fall 2020 with roughly 70% of the learning gains in reading relative to a typical school year. However in mathematics, students are likely to show much smaller learning gains and in some grades, nearly a full year behind what we would observe in normal conditions. In order to close the summer learning loss gap in reading and math, students should be reading on a daily basis and or completing math activities. Below are some activities you can do:
- Raz Kids – www.kidsa-z.com – Many great books to read!
- Zearn or Zearn Packet
- Eureka Math Resource – greatminds.org Find Knowledge on the Go, then click Access Free Resources. Click your grade or the next grade!
- Read at least 20 minutes each day
- Summer Packet
Thank you so much for supporting your child’s development through summer learning. Have a wonderful summer!
☀️ Ms. Gerardo
