Although it may seem like summer has just arrived, it won’t be long before your children are packing their backpacks and heading back to school.

While your children enjoy the long days of summer, start thinking about how you can help prepare them for the next school year.

According to research by Johns Hopkins University, summer vacation can cause students to lose up to two months of grade level equivalency in math and reading. As a result, several weeks of your children’s new school year will be spent reviewing materials previously discussed during the last school year. If your children encountered any difficulties when first studying those concepts, they may experience similar issues when those concepts are reintroduced at the beginning of the school year.

On the other hand, if your children are looking to advance their studies during this period, an academic enrichment program like Kumon Math & Reading Center of Bend would be an ideal solution to cultivate their knowledge.

For a student who needs additional time to review previous math and reading concepts, the Kumon Program can help them reach and surpass concepts studied in their current grade levels.

For those students looking to challenge themselves, the Kumon Program supports them through a proven step-by-step learning process that encourages them to learn how to solve problems two or three years above their current grade level.

All of this is possible because of the individualized instruction at Kumon Math & Reading Center of Bend. We tailor our curriculum to each student’s needs, abilities, and goals.

Call anytime to set up a parent orientation and placement testing. Once established in the Kumon Program, students can gradually progress through the Kumon curriculum and work on achieving success in the next school year and beyond.
