In a recent survey conducted by the National Summer Learning Association, more than 65 percent of teachers polled reported that it takes them up to four weeks to re-teach the previous year’s skills at the beginning of a new school year. In addition, the survey — which questioned 500 teachers across the country — revealed that for about 25 percent of them, it takes more than five weeks to get students caught up after a summer off. The West Virginia Department of Education recently launched an online initiative to help prevent students from suffering from that summer learning loss.
