Talk to any educator and they are likely to agree the “summer slide” is real. Often, the first two weeks (or more) of school are spent “reteaching” the concepts taught the previous year. So how can you help prevent this from happening to your kids? Try reading. Taking time to read to or with our kids is a great way to help prevent that learning loss. And reading as a family is one of the best ways to spend quality time together and to strike up some meaningful conversations – especially during the summer.
To help you get started, I’ve assembled a recommended reading list of great money books for preschool to adult.
