Studies show that students typically lose 30 per cent of their learning momentum over the summer. This means that students are at an academic disadvantage when they start school in the fall. This is known as the brain drain, and according to Marie-Eve Senecal of Oxford Learning Montreal NDG, it is easily prevented with a little bit of academic activity over the summer. "When students maintain their learning momentum over the summer, they give themselves an academic edge, just by keeping their minds sharp." Students who engage their brain over the summer are able to learn, integrate, and understand new material from the ford Learning Center manager. "At home, kids can keep a journal, use an organizer or an agenda, and play various games that challenge the mind, such as Sudoku or Boggle." But the best way to help students maintain their learning momentum is by enrolling them in a formal learning program that balances education and fun. In just a few hours a week, children of all ages can keep their learning momentum going all summer long.
