Summer break can remove students from consistent academic learning for as long as ten weeks — a gap many education experts consider too long. Teachers, parents, and researchers all recognize that “summer learning loss” is a real concern. Without regular academic engagement, students can lose up to two months of progress in reading and math skills during the summer months. As a result, teachers often spend several weeks in the fall re-teaching previously learned concepts, which delays the introduction of new learning. Because of this, many parents actively seek opportunities to keep their children academically engaged throughout the summer.
Summer Solutions was created as a natural extension of the Simple Solutions approach — a proven strategy that combines strong instruction, retrieval practice, and ongoing assessment to support long-term learning. Students who use the Simple Solutions method in their classrooms have shown significant growth in academic achievement, confidence, and standardized test performance in mathematics, language arts, and other subject areas.
