Around this time of the year, as I get ready to say good-bye to my little ones and send them off for the summer, I must admit I've always worried about my kiddos forgetting valuable skills when they get to first grade. In the age of technology, it's a sad reality that for many, reading books may not be as important as it once was.
According to a study by John Hopkins University, by the time students reach 9th grade, the lack of summer learning can be the cause for an estimated two- thirds of the achievement gap. Additional studies show that students can lose up to 2.5 months of learning throughout the summer. In some instances, teachers spend at least 2 weeks- some even up to 4 weeks, re- teaching skills lost over the summer.
This makes for a difficult back- to- school transition which can be prevented. Carson Dellosa is committed to assisting parents and teachers alike close this gap.

I would love this! Can I participate from Spain?
ReplyDeleteLita, I'm sorry but due to high shipping costs they informed me the giveaway is only open to US & Canadian residents. Do you know someone that lives in the US or Canada that could ship it to you if you won? This way it would still be shipped to a US or Canadian address.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
No problem. Good luck to every one that participated. :)
