4 Fun Ways To Keep Your Child Learning This Summer
Summertime is a great opportunity for children to relax and enjoy themselves, but it’s also important for them to continue learning during the break. According to studies, most students lose up to two months of academic progress over the summer. This can have a negative impact on their performance in school when they return in the fall.
At PEL Learning Centers, we want to help every child enrolled be the best student and learner they can be. That’s why, in this blog, we highlight four fun ways to keep your child learning this summer.
Take a Hike
One way to get your child moving and learning this summer is to take a hike. Not only will they get some fresh air and exercise, but they’ll also have the opportunity to learn about nature. As you hike, point out different plants and animals, and explain how they interact with their environment. You can also talk about the history of the area, and any interesting facts about the landmarks you pass.
Visit Local Museums, Parks, and Attractions
Another great way to keep your child learning this summer is to visit local museums, parks, and attractions. Many of these places offer educational programs for kids of all ages, which can be a fun and interactive way for them to learn about different topics. For example, your child might enjoy learning about the animals at the zoo, or the plants at the botanical gardens.
Incorporate Math in Everyday Activities
One way to help your child avoid summer learning loss is to incorporate math into everyday activities. This can be as simple as having them help you with grocery shopping, or cooking dinner together. You can also play math-based games together, such as Sudoku. There are also many math apps and websites that can be used for both practice and learning new concepts.
