Summer is a great time however to read a good book, stay cool at the movie theater watching a blockbuster hit or to explore a new hobby or interest. Public libraries offer many summer programs for students of all ages and most are free or charge a nominal fee to register.
Foundation for Learning also suggests its good time to practice the skills of the regular school year so your child is fresh and ready to begin school again in September.
Practice math and reading skills with younger children, but make it fun through games and activities and every day living. It’s more engaging to learn in the ‘life classroom’.
For older students ask about the summer reading list or talk about plans for electives in the fall or higher education aspirations. Develop a plan of action to research and lay groundwork for college admissions and applications. Summer is also a great time to travel to colleges and universities to get a feel for the campus and programs offered.
Take time to relax this summer, but make time to learn and grow too!
