Ways to Prevent the Summertime Backslide

For many children, the summer months can be a time of boredom, filled with long hours of mindless video games and unimaginative television watching. Duke Universitys Dr. Harris Cooper, a leading expert on summer learning loss, writes that long summer vacations "break the rhythm of instruction, lead to forgetting, and require a significant amount of review when students return to school in the fall."

Mark Lucas, CEO/Founder of Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services explains, "Parents keep expressing concern that their children will have nothing to do and nothing to learn over the summer. They are looking for affordable alternatives. Fortunately, Club Z! can help."

The tutors at Club Z! understand both parents and students frustrations and know that continuing education over the summer break is the key to a positive school year ahead. It is a chance for children to master important skills or to further explore areas of interest in a fun, creative way, with individualized attention.

Summer tutoring with a Club Z! tutor will:

1. rebuild self-esteem that was battered by bad grades from the previous school year.
2. close the achievement gap by helping students catch up and get ahead before the start of the new school year.
3. prepare high school students with the strategies, skills, and confidence to take upcoming ACT and SAT tests.
4. reinforce skills for children with learning disabilities, who might otherwise lose skills from a 2-3 month separation from formal learning.
5. provide money-saving enrichment and accelerated learning opportunities outside of traditional daycare.
6. enable students to master benchmarks necessary for passing state reading, writing, and math standardized tests.
7. allow kids to explore and develop the skill areas they find interesting, such as art, music, foreign language, and more!

Club Z! summer sessions offer uninterrupted, individualized tutoring as often as parents choose -- 2, 3 or more times a week. Club Z! also offers in-home tutoring in all core subjects, including reading, math, science, as well as instruction in study skills, music, computers, SAT, ACT and other assessment test preparation.
