Without grades and deadlines, kids get something in the summertime that school rarely offers: time. Time to be bored, to read what they want, to practice without a clock running. For kids with learning differences, that slower pace can mean the difference between surviving the school year and building skills that actually stick. 🧠
Bonus: California’s new Phone-Free Schools Act (plus 40+ states doing the same) means less competition for kids’ attention — more room for the focus that reading and problem-solving require. 📚
Our take: keep it light this summer. A few phone-free minutes during homework, real unstructured downtime, and short consistent skill practice (15-20 min, a few times a week) go a long way. ⏰
