A Handy Summer Learning Schedule
Keeping a loose schedule is a great way to keep the learning going all summer without sacrificing all the fun.
Listen and Read This Summer
Audio books let kids kick back, enjoy the story and let their imaginations run free. Listening to books can make reading fun, especially for kids that may struggle with language or have trouble sitting still.
Is Knowledge Leaking Out?
The laid back scheduling of summer can lead to some summer knowledge leaks. Lucky for you we’ve created a new eBook to keep brains active this summer.
Writing to Remember this Summer
To stop brain drain, kids need to keep writing all through the summer. They need to practice their handwriting and creative writing skills. The key is to keep it fun and light.
Apps Are Your Friends This Summer
Use the kids’ desire to be on their tablets to your advantage. Summer learners can benefit from time spent on apps. They can make the difference in your child’s reading, vocabulary development, math facts etc. Since, there are so many different options it can be hard to figure out which ones are the best.
