Keep Learning Alive During the Summer Months

Your child worked hard all year, and you want her to retain what she's learned. But you also want summer to be relaxing. To combine learning and fun:

• Have a family spelling bee. Give your child words that match her skills. Older players should have words that are right for them.
• Read together and discuss what you read. Choose books, poems and magazines your child will enjoy.
• Make math part of your day. Count how many steps you climb, measure ingredients and look for numbers everywhere.
• Ask questions about science and nature. "What if we mixed pink and yellow paint?" "How does a spider make a web?" "What kind of bird is that?" Then try and find the answers.
• Make connections to history. Tell family stories about the past. Look at maps. Talk about how the world has changed.
