Step 1: Reflect on Academic Progress and Set Goals

Take a moment to reflect on your child’s academic progress by reviewing past report cards and homework folders. Look for specific areas of concern raised by their teacher throughout the year. Even subjects that your child excels in can benefit from a little review. If you need help pinpointing areas of improvement, consider using our online practice tests, which provide insights into the skills your child may need to strengthen.

Step 2: Create a Fun and Engaging Summer Learning Schedule

Explain to your child that these exercises and brain teasers serve to reinforce their existing knowledge and skills. Collaborate with your child to establish a learning schedule in advance. For example, designate specific times for math or reading activities and follow them with enjoyable rewards like a trip to the park or a frozen yogurt treat. Having a clear agenda and rewards system can motivate your child and make learning more enjoyable for both of you.

Step 3: Utilize Grade-Level Worksheets for Skill Development

Take advantage of our grade-level summer worksheets (Grades 3-8) for English and Math. Start with the grade your child just completed and have them work through the corresponding worksheets. As they progress, consider incorporating questions from different grade levels to keep the activities engaging and challenging.

Step 4: Explore Alternative Learning Methods for Summer Break

In our Summer Kit blogs, you’ll find suggestions for alternative learning methods during the summer break. Summer is an ideal time for hands-on, out-of-the-box adventures that complement traditional worksheets and flashcards. Explore our Teachers Speak blog posts for tips on incorporating exciting and memorable learning experiences into your weekly routine.

Step 5: Expand Learning Horizons with Additional Resources
