Summer Break Study Tips

No one enjoys the warm weather more than a student on summer break. Who can resist days at the beach, hanging out with friends, staying up late and sleeping in? Many parents wonder if anything can be done during the summer to prepare students for the upcoming school year.

Here are a few suggestions:

  1. Sign up for summer reading programs at your local public library.
  2. Give your child interesting reading materials and workbooks appropriate to their grade level.
  3. Tutors are available in the summer. They can provide your child with an individualized probram that is fun, interesting, and challenging.
