Research shows that most students experience a loss of reading skills over the summer months, but children who continue to read will gain skills. It can be a challenge to keep kids reading all summer. Here are a few ideas to help you get started. Remember summer reading should be fun!
✓ Set aside a consistent time for reading each day.
✓ Read aloud together.
✓ Play word games
✓ Let kids choose what they want to read - Follow the 5 Finger Rule.
✓ Read on the road.
✓ Listen to a story.
✓ Be a reading role model.

Simply focusing on math language during daily routines can support greater math understanding for children; for example, counting and comparing numbers of food items in your lunch, or asking questions like "How many more plates do we need?" or "How can we divide these cookies evenly?" This encourages children to think mathematically and solve problems.
✓ Use math language during daily routines.
✓ Practice math facts while driving places.
✓ Play board/ card/ dice games that involve numbers.
✓ Estimate costs, compare prices, and calculate change while shopping.
✓ Have your child measure and count while cooking, practice doubling a recipe.
✓ Use calendars and clocks to discuss dates and elapsed time.
✓ Be a math role model.
