Summer vacation offers an opportunity for your child to have fun exploring and learning new things. Reading and learning activities are a great way to open up your child’s world, while reinforcing the academic successes they had during the school year.
According to the Department of Education, summer is the perfect time for students of all ages to relax, but it’s also a time when summer learning loss can occur. This learning loss is called the “summer slide,” and happens when children do not engage in educational activities during the summer months. For more information about preventing the summer slide, go to

Finding ways to inspire and motivate your child to participate in any form of reading and learning during the summer can prevent this summer slide. An actively involved parent creates an atmosphere of support. Team Tutor provides resources to offer your child a summer of enjoyment in learning. For a comprehensive list go to:
