Creative Ways to Prevent Learning Loss
Natalie and Harry worked on the same academic skills they would work on at school, but they worked much differently. They practiced math facts while on a swing. They used flashcards to learn words by sight, but they didn't sit face-to-face with the teacher to see them. Instead, when Hannah said a word, they raced to find the right flashcard among the many spread around the room. In addition to academic basics, the kids' learning followed their own interests. Harry took home books about trains, while Natalie chose books about dogs. "School" also meant concerts in the park and lunches at Subway.
"When children study something they are passionate about, a range of similar topics opens up," says Rief. "They wind up developing skills that are transferable to other subjects."
That may be true, but Natalie and Harry can't wait to get back to school this summer because it's fun.
