A lot of learning loss happens in the summer.
It’s known as the “summer slide” and as a result, students often return in the fall forgetting critical reading, writing, and thinking skills that will have to be reviewed — or retaught all together!
But - there’s good news! It doesn’t have to be this way.
Yes, students DO need a break from the structure of a school schedule and have the chance to relax, spend extra time with family and friends, and enjoy the beautiful weather.
However, if they go an entire summer without activating their brain - they will often inevitably “slide” back a grade level or two. However, we can put a few preventative measures in place to help keep the summer slide at bay.
LINKtivity Learning is here to help keep students’ minds engaged and their brain cells activated…
…by providing them them learning experiences that feel more like playing and exploring!
Introducing: The LINKtivity Learning Virtual Summer Camp Experience
…a virtual summer camp experience where students can join in from anywhere, at any time. And - when they do, they'll tap into their curiosity and uncover astonishing facts about life, our world, people, and historical events!
And while they are busy exploring through video, audio, text, jokes, and more - they’ll be keeping their minds fine-tuned and sharp!
How does it work?
The LINKtivity Learning Summer Camp is a self-paced summer learning program with several weeks of learning and exploring. Each week provides learners with a new high-interest topic that kids will explore through an interactive LINKtivity.
They’ll discover the weekly topic through a variety of multimedia features: video, photographs, audio, graphics, interactive digital features, and MORE!
Then, students are invited to take their learning off-screen with additional related learning experiences that encourage them to go outside, create art, check out related books at the library, create STEM projects, and even bake!
We've included dozens of extension activities that align with the content in the LINKtivities that students can complete throughout the summer!
No two weeks are the same - so your curious kids will always have something to look forward to!
