Students who do not keep up with their learnings over the summer see a decline in achievement scores that averages an entire month of school-year learning. To avoid what some call “summer learning loss,” you can engage your child in various activities to keep them thinking and applying their school learnings all summer long.
Read and explore – Whether you visit your local library or have an existing selection at home, help your child pick a book about nature – maybe a bird-watching book or a children’s encyclopedia on flowers. After choosing a species to study, take a trip to a park or zoo to see if they can find what they’ve been reading about. This helps develop research skills, as well as observation skills.
Get crafty – Think outside the box with crafts this summer and try something more challenging to test your child’s engineering and imagination skills.
Inspire a little chef – Inspire your child to get involved in cooking by asking them to pick out a dinner recipe and help make it from start to finish (with parental supervision at all times). Measuring ingredients can be a fun math lesson – while following a recipe is good practice in reading and following directions for a specific outcome – delicious food!
Teach with movies – After watching a movie together, talk about what you just watched and their thoughts about the characters, what the movie was about, and what other outcomes are possible by changing the scenario. This helps them gain a deeper understanding about messages and themes, which can help comprehension skills.
