Helping kids avoid the summer 'brain drain' before they head back to school
According to this report, kids can lose up to three reading levels in a single summer if they don't spend time practicing their reading skills. The easiest thing in the world for parents to do is require kids to spend thirty minutes a day reading. Just set aside quiet time and have the kids just sit and read. Afterwards have the kids tell a little about what they read. It doesn't take a research scientist to figure out something that obvious!
