Summer is fast approaching and preventing summer slide for homeschoolers is just as important as it is for public school kids. Any time that a child has an extended break (2-3 months) from academics they risk losing retention of what they’ve learned.

Fortunately, you don’t have to do math worksheets, grammar, and formal reading lessons to prevent summer slide.

In our latest blog post, Preventing Summer Slide for Homeschoolers, veteran homeschool mom, Holly Williams Urbach, shares tips for making summer fun while preserving and even advancing learning for your child.

In her latest Transcript Maker blog post, veteran homeschooler, Holly Williams Urbach, explains why viewing your homeschool as a school is problematic and explores why unschooling just might be the answer to many issues homeschool parents encounter.

Holly writes, "A homeschool isn’t a school. When a homeschool isn’t a school, it’s better for you and your children. I’m noticing a trend in Facebook homeschooling groups lately with mothers feeling overwhelmed and considering sending their children to public school. Having children, even without homeschooling, can be overwhelming in and of itself. When you add in the homeschooling component, overwhelm increases almost exponentially. Does this mean that families shouldn’t homeschool their children? By no means!"
