How Do I Combat the "Summer Slide"?

It Could Be Your Eyes

"17 to 34% of what was learned last school year is expected to be lost between May and September."
Today we're talking about "The Summer Slide", a term that refers to the documented decrease in reading ability over the summer months, when kids are not being made to read or do homework.
To combat this, we've prepared a couple of summer reading programs, to strengthen their visual skills: The 4D Built to Read program is recommended to address foundational visual skills necessary for reading, and the 4D Summer Boot Camp is recommended for those who have already completed vision therapy.
The importance of maintaining visual skills to prevent decline and ensure children are ready for the next school year, is crucial...and that's why we're here for.
In this episode you’ll hear about:
(01:15) The tools we can provide.
(06:20) How the 4D Built to Read Program can help kids retain their reading progress.(12:01) Discovering the global Digital 4D Summer Boot Camp.
