School’s Out, Now What?
Summer Activities To Keep Kids Learning
All young learners experience learning loss when they don’t engage in learning summer activities. There are ways to prevent your child from the dreaded summer slide phenomenon. If you want to prevent summer learning loss or even accelerate learning this blog is for you.
1. Read EVERY day!!!
Backed by research reading every day is critical during long summer breaks.
2. Focus on grade-specific skills
If your child struggled in a certain area, summer is an excellent opportunity to go back and review. Consequently, this can bridge the learning gaps and build your child’s confidence.
3. Daily schedule
The ideal guideline that should be spent on summer learning is twenty -to- thirty minutes three to four days per week.
4. Bring in the professionals
Reflect on hiring a tutor who can create a personalized tailored plan to keep your child’s mind active. Several students work better when the teacher isn’t mom or dad.
5. Toss out the paper and pencils
No more Paper/pencil does not work for all students. Instead, use educational games and apps to keep your child engaged or even some fun summer activities such as ‘horse’ to practice math facts or sidewalk chalk to practice site words.
