Keep learning all summer. Here's How

Report cards can quickly get forgotten in the busy schedules of summer. There are camps, soccer games, swimming lessons and play dates. These activities are all summer time grabbers that make it too easy to put the report card in a drawer and forget about it.

The long, lazy days of summer and the busy schedule have a way of taking the edge off the urgent concerns about your child’s education. It’s easy to forget that that math mark was less than adequate, or that the reading scores were average, or that disappointing comment about your child’s poor organization. The fall semester is a long way away, so you put the report card in a drawer to be dealt with at a later date. After all, what can be done about poor grades over the summer, right?

The answer is plenty!

Before you put your child’s report card in the drawer, make note of the areas that need extra work, and take action! Don’t go to the drawer…go to the phone. Call Oxford Learning to get your child turn those poor report card comments into rave reviews!

Here’s what we know:

1. The brain is always in learn mode
2. Students can make amazing academic gains when they have the time to focus specifically on trouble areas
3. When students take a mental break in the summer it can take up to 2 months to get on track in the fall

Summer is a wide-open expanse of time perfect for catching up, getting ahead, working on trouble areas, and building strong learning skills. When students keep learning all summer long, they are prepared and ready to learn when school begins again.

Can you imagine what the report card of a student who is prepared, has improved study skills and can make connections looks like? We guarantee that it’s a report that you won’t want to put in a drawer—you’ll want to hang it on the fridge.
