As the unofficial kickoff to summer, this weekend is the perfect time to start the season off right and keep young minds engaged
The “summer slide” is real. When school routines pause, many children lose ground in reading and math skills. The good news is that everyday moments can double as learning opportunities without feeling like homework.
Try these simple, research-backed ideas:
• Let kids choose books they are excited to read and set aside family reading time
• Turn cooking and shopping into math practice by measuring, budgeting and comparing prices
• Explore museums, parks or local landmarks to build curiosity and critical thinking
Keeping kids engaged now can make the transition back to school smoother and more successful this fall.
