Summer is an important time for students to get rejuvenated for the next school year. However, it is important for students to keep those skills sharp. What can I do to help my child and still make it fun? It's important to use as many hands-on activities as possible. Try not to use paper and pencil. The first place I would head is to the local library. They usually have a great program for students in the summer. Students get to see children their own age, have fun, and work on their reading skills. They don't even realize they are working because it is so much fun. Some schools offer enrichment programs that are very interesting and skill specific for students. Students may be able to work on their computer, art, or acting skills! Go see a movie with your child. There are often movie theaters that offer free showings of old releases during summer break. However, they fill-up fast so go early. This is a great opportunity to talk to your child about what they saw, what they liked, who their favorite character was, and why. Perfect for working on those comprehension skills. The best thing to do is research your community or surrounding communities to find activities that your child would enjoy. Don't think free babysitter; think would my student benefit from this. You will be surprised at the opportunities you might find!
