Many children participate in community programs or camps during the day, while others have much less structure for their long summer days.
Regardless of the schedule, summer offers a wonderful opportunity for children to read and learn at a different pace. Keeping children’s minds engaged is crucial, as our reading, writing, and thinking muscles need exercise all year round!

- Explore new books together and create a summer reading list.
- Encourage daily writing, whether it's keeping a journal or writing stories.
- Visit local museums, parks, or historical sites to spark curiosity and learning.
- Engage in creative projects like arts and crafts or building projects.
