21Tips for Summer
• Schedule fun
• Resist the urge to overschedule
• Get together with friends
• Set aside time each day – for you and for them!
• Encourage your child to try something new this summer
• Limit technology
• Create structure and set boundaries
• Make Time for Learning. Set aside time for your student to read each day
during the summer break -- 15 to 30 minutes per day is all it takes!
• Take a family trip to the library, and find books that both
(a) capture your child's interest, and
(b) stretch you child's reading skills.
• Take trips to museums, zoos, and nature sites. But don't merely attend. Help
children enjoy hands-on experiences and engage in family conversations.
• Can't find an affordable summer camp? Create your own.
• Read, read, read! – Summer learning loss is real!
22For Parents
• ELA/Reading Ideas:
• Students should be encouraged to read books. Ensure your
child is allowed to choose topics and books of interest. Ask them
about the book during dinner or other convenient times.
• Hold a conversation and discuss what your child has
read. Ask probing questions and connect the events to his
or her life.
• Ask your child who, what, when, where, why and how
questions.
• Help your child go back to the text to support his or her
answers.
• To help motivate you child to read, listen to audio books with
your child on long car rides.
• To help your child remember key points while reading create
hashtags for each section or chapter.For Parents
• Language/Cultural Ideas:
• Speak to your child in your home language. Children can
learn many languages at once. Using your home language
will not confuse them, even if they speak English! The skills
and strategies you practice in your home language will
transfer as they acquire English.
• Share stories, songs, games, and rhymes from your culture.
Children love stories! Share family stories as well as songs,
games, and rhymes from your childhood.
• Share special traditions and recipes from home. Talk about
important traditions from your culture and choose some
special recipes to prepare together
24For Parents
• Math Ideas:
• While setting the table ask your child "How many more forks
do you need?", "If there are a total of 12 forks and knives how
many people are having dinner?"...base your level of
questions to the age and ability of your children.
• While at a store/restaurant/mall have your child,
• Weigh the fruit and vegetables and calculate the total
for each, maybe even approximate the tax (depending
on age and ability).
• Estimate the total amount of items and what the total
cost would be, with and w/out tax.
• Estimate the amount of discount on shoes/clothes based
on how much percent is taken off the item.
• Estimate the tip on a bill.For Parents
• Social Studies Ideas:
• If possible, experience visiting historical sites and/or
museums. Read plaques and descriptions on displays and
monuments to learn the history of the item. There are also
many virtual tours of historical sites and museums you can
take with your family.
• Play 'eye spy" a license plate game or download the Plate
Spot license plate game app. After, you can locate and plot
the state on a map of the United States. Ask age-
appropriate questions:
• What region of the United States is the state located?
• What direction would you have to drive to visit the state?
• What is the state motto?...Why is that the state motto?For Parents
• Science Ideas:
• If your child asks you why something is true or why something
happens assist them in researching or experimenting to find
out the answer.
• Perform household science experiments, these can be done
using typical household items and can be found online (I.e.
https://www.weareteachers.com/easy-science-
experiments/).
• Encourage your child to predict what they think will
happen when making observations and conducting
experiments. Let them know if their predictions are not
supported by the results. Discuss what actually happens
and why.
• Watch a nature or science show on television. Public
television stations have great programs such as
NOVA, NATURE and Bill Nye the Science Guy to name a few.For Parents
