Winter break is a time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the season, but it also brings the dreaded “Winter Academic Slide”—a loss of important academic skills from weeks of no structured learning. This can be frustrating when students return to school and need to catch up on what they’ve forgotten.
The good news? You can keep your students engaged without sacrificing their winter break. Join our online workshop to discover how to combat the winter academic slide using Raz-Plus and other Learning A-Z platforms. In just one session, you’ll learn how to harness interactive resources to create fun, holiday-friendly reading activities that will keep students’ skills sharp over the three-week break!
Why is Winter Academic Slide a concern?
During long breaks like winter, students often lose momentum, forgetting key skills in subjects like reading, math, and science. This happens because our brains discard information we don’t actively engage with or practice. To avoid having to reteach concepts when school resumes, it’s crucial to keep students’ brains active and engaged, even in a relaxed, holiday-friendly way.
How can Raz-Plus help?
Raz-Plus is a trusted, interactive platform filled with books and resources designed to engage students in self-paced learning. During the workshop, we’ll show you how to:
- Create a customized learning plan for each student that fits into their holiday schedule.
- Encourage independent reading and track progress with Raz-Plus’ easy-to-use digital resources.
- Make learning fun and stress-free with activities that feel like play rather than work.
- Integrate reading games and interactive books to keep students’ brains active in an enjoyable way.
What you’ll learn in this workshop:
