(Because the only thing sliding this summer should be your kids at the park!)
💡 Did you know? While kids are busy making summer memories, their hard-earned school skills are secretly taking a vacation too!
Studies show that most kids lose 20-30% of their school-year gains over summer.
Teachers call it the “summer slide” – and it’s not the fun playground kind!

😩 You don’t have time to plan educational activities
😩 You don’t want a summer full of battles over “extra schoolwork”
😩 You worry they’ll start the new school year BEHIND their classmates

_
🤔 Exploring activities designed to challenge their thinking and spark creativity!

_
✨ Staying engaged and excited about learning instead of dreading it

_
📚 Starting the school year confident and ahead of the game!

👋 Hi, I’m Kara Peterson, a former public educator turned education advocate and curriculum creator.
I’ve seen firsthand how quickly kids lose academic skills over the summer. I also know that learning during break doesn’t have to be a battle.
I created Slide Stopper to give parents a simple, effective way to prevent the summer slide—without the frustration. This program is built on research-backed learning strategies that make it easy for kids to stay engaged while actually strengthening essential skills.
Activities tailored specifically for grades K-5 (15-21 activities per grade level)
This isn’t busywork—it’s a carefully crafted experience that builds critical thinking, creativity, and confidence
Uses research-backed methods to reinforce the exact skills kids need to maintain
No-prep, easy-to-implement activities with complete answer keys included
Hands-on, engaging, and designed to build real-world skills (without the eye-rolls). No boring worksheets—just smart, interactive learning
Each child gets activities tailored to their exact grade level (K-5), ensuring the challenge is just right—not too easy, not too hard
You don’t need to spend hours planning. Just grab the guide, flip to your child’s section, and get started. Less stress, more summer fun
Some activities take 20 minutes, others may take an hour—YOU choose what fits your schedule.
Printable sticker sheet with badges they can collect as they complete each day’s challenge
Unlock puzzles, mazes, and quick “brain break” challenges to keep the adventure going
✅ Busy moms who want their kids to learn but don’t have time to plan activities
✅ Children in grades K-5 who need to maintain their academic skills
✅ Families who want summer learning without sacrificing summer fun
✅ Parents worried about their child falling behind
✅ Kids who learn best through engaging, hands-on activities
❌ NOT just another boring workbook
❌ NOT a full-time summer school commitment
❌ NOT complicated for parents to implement
❌ NOT going to cause battles over “doing schoolwork”
Without reinforcement, kids start losing skills within TWO WEEKS of summer break.
So the earlier you start, the more confident your child will be!
