Why Your Kids Should Spend Summer at the Library: Exploring Beyond the Books
Summer is the perfect time for your kids to explore the hidden treasures that libraries offer beyond their extensive book collections. From engaging programs to hands-on activities, here’s why you should make the library a regular destination this season.







Getting the whole body involved is a great way to encourage right brain thinkers to continue learning while still having fun. We have found lots of STEAM activities to keep the kids engaged all summer.
While the schools did their best to make a switch from classroom to online learning, let’s be honest, our kids’ summer vacation, as far as school is concerned, started a little earlier this year. Unfortunately, if summer days continue to be devoid of educational pursuits– a significant amount of what went into building your child’s brain during the school year will start to leak out.
To stop the summer math drain, it’s important that our visual learners stay fluent on basic math facts and operations. Take a look at your child’s school papers, so you know what they’ve been working on and what they need to practice.
The best way to keep the summer brain drain at bay is to continue reading everyday throughout the summer. Just 20-30 minutes per day of any kind of reading is going to keep them fluent while exposing them to new ideas and ways of reading.
Our new summer eBook is perfect for keeping brains active. Download the book today to get insider tricks on how to stop summer learning loss.
The key to prevent summer learning loss for all kids, especially visual learners, is to make learning hands on, make it visual, add lots of art and time to create and above all – make it FUN. Summer is great for messy, creative and experimental activities because everything can be done outside!
Apps are a great way to get your visual learners engaged in subjects that can be a little challenging at school. Many of these apps are designed to help them think creatively and innovate, skills in which they excel.
