Keep Brains Working This Summer
1. Set aside time for your student to read 15-30 minutes each day during summer.
2. Encourage students to practice vocabulary words to help improve their reading and spelling skills. Make it fun by putting together flashcards.
3. Work on three to four math problems a day that your student learned the previous school year to prevent skills from getting rusty.
4. Improve reading comprehension with a reading comprehension workbook, that tests him or her with self-quizzes.
5. Review your student's past grade-level grammar concepts and begin to work on next year's concepts.
6. Have your student write a paragraph each week to improve written language skills and encourage creativity.
7. Pinpoint the subject your child had the most trouble with during the previous school year and include some daily practice in this area.
