Sunday Reset - The Summer Slide is Real

Raising Scholars Season 2, Sunday Reset Episode 6: The Summer Slide is Real

Aired on Jul 19, 2026

You've probably heard the term "summer slide" enough times to feel like your child is already behind. In this Sunday Reset, Jacquie reframes what's actually happening over the summer, and why it has less to do with forgetting than most parents think.

She breaks down the difference between teaching and practicing, why summer is actually the best time to catch a learning gap before it compounds, and gives parents one simple challenge to try this week before September arrives.
