Week 14: Summer Learning Loss

What It Is, What It Isn’t, and What to Do About It

Let’s start here: summer learning loss is real—but it’s also manageable.
It doesn’t mean your child forgets everything. It doesn’t mean you failed. And it certainly doesn’t mean you need to pack your summer with flashcards and phonics drills.

But it does mean we need to be thoughtful about how we approach long breaks—especially when we’ve spent the year helping our kids build momentum, confidence, and skills.

This week, we’ll talk about what learning loss actually looks like, how to prevent it (without burning out), and how to create a rhythm that leaves room for both rest and readiness.
