Summer Slugger: Student Summer Learning

Each summer, students lose critical math and literacy skills, which can widen the achievement gap among students. To prevent this “summer slide,” we developed a continuous and engaging learning experience that prepares students of all backgrounds to enter the next school year on track. The 18-week program, targeted to 4th and 5th graders, unlocks activities at regular intervals and offers rewards for progress and consistency along the way. Students engage with content that reinforces critical math and language skills while enjoying the freedom and motivation of a baseball-themed, game-based learning experience.
