In It: Raising Kids Who Learn Differently - A podcast by Understood.org, Gretchen Vierstra, Rachel Bozek - Thursdays

You may have heard of “summer slide.” It refers to the learning loss that can happen during summer break from school. On this bonus episode of “In It,” we’re sharing a conversation on how to handle the summer break from another Understood podcast, “The Opportunity Gap.” Host Julian Saavedra talks with special education teacher Kate García about how following a summer routine can help kids stay on track. They also discuss ways to help kids learn without sacrificing fun. Plus why giving kids grace and time is so important.
