Ashley Tutors Own Ashley Fagel Tells Nbc4 How to Keep Kids Sharp Over the Summer

Montgomery County, Md, USA (SANEPR.com) May 19, 2008 -- Ashley Tutors’ (http://www.ashleytutors.com) Ashley Fagel, the lead tutor and founder of Ashley Tutors, will be featured in an NBC4 (http://nbc4.com )news story next Tuesday, May 20 at 6:00 pm. She will discuss why it is important that students keep learning all summer, whether it be with a tutor or their parents. “As a teacher, I see ‘brain drain’ every September. Kids who took off don’t get back on the learning track for almost three months,” said Fagel.
Research shows that from June through August children can forget some of what they’ve learned, according to Harris Cooper, director of Duke University’s program in education. Cooper’s research has shown that achievement test scores on average declined between the spring and the fall.
“Typically, the first quarter of the new school year is spent catching up, learning new routines and expectations, and relearning previously taught materials,” said Fagel. Visit Ashley’s Journal on the Ashley Tutors website for great tips on how to keep your student sharp this summer so they’re not a step behind next September. Suggestions include walks to the library, keeping daily journals and active outdoor play.
