Summer Skill-Building Doesn't Have to Be a Drag

Most kids would prefer not to hear the words " summer " and " learning " in the

same sentence. But whether they know it or not, students get some of their

best learning done during the vacation months, through exploration with

friends, family-led activities, and artistic self-expression. Here are some

fun ways to practice and build skills from home before September rolls

around.

<http://support.weta.org/site/R?i=HifRlDajwZK7KYmvHmAkfw..> Poems at Home

Through poetry, kids learn alliteration and rhyming, practice fluency, and

boost their awareness of language. Get started sharing poems by organizing a

<http://support.weta.org/site/R?i=nPBtW4SQ2M-wJb_IkRDLAQ..> family poetry

jam.

Summer Reading for Children with Dyslexia

Kids with LD need even more summer reinforcement than their non-disabled

peers. Encouraging them to read for pleasure, without the pressures of the

classroom, can help

learning loss.

access to a variety of programs can increase motivation and engagement.
