Summer activities

We like to do a little school during the summer. Maybe one or two lessons of Math per week, some Science experiments, and we still read out loud.

Other summer activities for our family might include hiking, picnicking, gardening. On those hot, hot days, we like to splash in the creek across the road from our house.

Encourage your children to keep reading over the summer. Don't worry about searching out more and more challenging reading. You can find more reading material at about the same reading level by looking for more in a favorite series or more books by an author your child likes. Even though they are enjoying reading at a comfortable level, they will continue to build confidence and improve their reading skills.

You can stimulate their interest by being a role model so, pick up a book and READ!
