Don’t Let the Vacation Erase Your Child’s Progress

Hello Parents,

School vacations are often filled with excitement. Children finally get a break from homework, early mornings, and examinations. They have more time to play, explore hobbies, and enjoy family moments.

While this break is important, it can also come with an unexpected challenge: learning loss.

When children spend several weeks without reading, practicing mathematics, or writing, they may gradually forget some of the skills they worked so hard to build during the school term. This doesn’t happen because they aren’t capable—it happens because learning, like any skill, improves with regular practice.

The good news is that preventing learning loss doesn’t mean turning the vacation into another school term.

Here are a few practical ideas:

• Read together every day, even for just 20 minutes.

• Encourage your child to write about their daily experiences.

• Practice mathematics through games and real-life situations.

• Visit libraries, museums, parks, or other educational places.

• Set aside a few hours each week for focused learning.

For children who need additional support, personalized tutoring can make a significant difference. A tutor can identify learning gaps, strengthen weak areas, and help students return to school feeling more prepared and confident.

At Excellent Home Classes, we provide one-on-one home and online tutoring for Preschool, Primary, JHS, SHS, Cambridge, IGCSE, IB, BECE, and WASSCE students. Every programme begins with an assessment so we can recommend the most suitable tutor and learning plan.

Our aim is simple: to help every child continue learning while still enjoying a fun and relaxing vacation.

Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to supporting your child’s educational journey.

Warm regards,

Emmanuel Asiedu
