Did you know that kids can lose up to two months of learning over the summer? It’s called the Summer Slide—and it’s more common than you might think. But don’t worry, fighting it doesn’t mean turning your home into a classroom. In this episode, Adrienne Stein talks with Dr. Melinda Butler, chair of the Department of Literacy, Language and Culture at the University of Southern Maine and assistant professor of literacy education. Dr. Butler breaks down what summer learning loss looks like, why it matters, and how you can help your kids stay sharp over break—without any stress (or flashcards!). From fun reading routines to easy ways to sneak in math and keep curious minds engaged, this episode is packed with simple, practical tips for every parent. Learn more about your ad choices.
