Additionally, she strongly recommends incorporating daily reading into children’s summer routines.&nbsp;“After working hard all school year, it’s crucial to help children retain their knowledge over the summer,” said McGuckin. “Daily reading is a simple yet effective way to prevent summer learning loss.”&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/info">Sylvan Learning</a> is a supplemental and enrichment education brand that offers structured summer tutoring programs designed to keep children engaged and improve their academic skills. At McGuckin’s center, these sessions are held twice a week, totaling four hours, and focus on maintaining and enhancing reading skills. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of three-to-one, each child receives personalized attention, ensuring he or she stays focused and motivated without becoming frustrated.For parents looking for additional support, Sylvan Learning’s summer tutoring programs offer a structured and engaging way to help children continue learning. By fostering a balance of structured learning and creative exploration, parents can ensure their children return to school in the fall ready to succeed.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2024/05/23/sylvan-learning-offers-tips-prevent-summer-learning-loss/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=dakota-news-now-preventing-summer-learning-loss-with-sylvan-learning-2726463" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning.">https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning.</a>&nbsp;
