However, studies have found that children typically forget between one and thr
12、ee months worth of school learning during the summer months. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probable reason for this is that most children read at least occasionally outside of the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines
13、, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting.The original purpose of summer vacations was to let farm children have time off to help work in the fields in the high growing season, but this reason is no longer valid since fewer kids a

When they go back to school after the long summer vacation, th
