Activities for Kids!
"Research shows that most damage to reading skills occurs outside school - during the summer months!"
-Jim Trelease, Author of The Read-Aloud Handbook
DO NOT allow that to happen to your child!
Reading 4 - 6 chapter books over the summer
will alleviate this loss in the summer*!
Other reading related activities are equally important!

ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN
For Kindergarten through 3rd grade:
One of THE BEST activities to keep kids sharp in the summer is our Learning Palette.
It's fantastic!
The Learning Palette is an AMAZING tool because kids are simply playing a self-correcting game (so they can usually do this independently once they get the hang of it).
Available in several sets or individually, these make an EXCELLENT learning tool!!

Have you seen our activity card sets? With a great varity for children of many ages, these make wonderful activities for rainy days, car trips, at a restaurant or sitting in a waiting room.
For ages 6 and up:

Tip: Punch a hole in the top corner and put cards on a ring... they won't get lost and because many come with a dry erase marker, kids can do them over and over... or share!
