Make summertime learning part of the fun
Summer is prime time for combining learning and fun. Try having a family spelling bee (give each family member words that are appropriate for their skills). Or add math to a family trip (How many miles until we get there? How much gas will we need? How many steps to climb the hill?). Try some science and history with your child, too. Learn the names of the bugs or trees you see. Talk about ways the world has changed over time. With a little thought, you can add some learning fun to every day.
