Summer is the perfect time to build strong reading habits while having fun, and we’re excited to invite all of our students to participate in our Summer 2026 Reading Challenge!
Our goal is ambitious! We’re working together to read 100 books by the end of the summer! Every book your child reads helps us move one step closer to that goal while encouraging a lifelong love of reading.
Read a book at home or at Oxford Learning.
After finishing a book, have your child write the title on their reading log (available at the centre).
Each completed book also earns one ballot for our monthly prize draw for a $25 gift card of your child’s choice.
Students can earn 5 bonus ballots by completing a:
They can also earn additional ballots by participating in our Book BINGO and other reading activities throughout the summer. Templates are available at the centre, just ask one of our teachers!
We love hearing about what our students are reading, so don’t be surprised if a teacher asks your child a few questions about their book. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate their reading and strengthen comprehension skills.
Thank you for helping us make reading a part of your child’s summer routine. Whether it’s one book or twenty, every page counts!
Happy Reading!

Research shows that students can lose up to 30% of their academic skills over the summer break. Maintaining academic momentum during this time helps prevent this learning loss, reinforces the material learned during the school year, and keeps students' minds engaged, so they're ready to hit the ground running when school resumes.

Hey Oxford Learning, this is Eyosyas. I’m here to say thank you to you guys for helping me get good marks and grades, which you did. A special thank you to Nick because for the past months, Nick has helped me and showed me how school can be easy, telling me to be ready for anything. He also got me good marks so that’s a big thank you to him and everyone that I worked with in the past 10 or 9 months! Thank you for making me a way better student. I hope you guys have an amazing summer.
I would highly recommend this location. The program works wonders. I can see the improvement in both my children.
Oxford Learning has helped my girls grow academically! I love to see my older daughter (going to Grade 4). This is the best centre I know of in my area. The staff is very nice.
“My child had a hard time accomplishing his classroom work, but after time at Oxford Learning, his self-confidence has risen higher and higher.” – Hani
“Since last summer we were looking for a place to send our kids, where they can have proper guidance, learn, and feel secure. Finally we found Oxford Learning, where we can send them with confidence that they are not wasting their time and it is a good return for the money.” – Mohammad
"I am so happy with the progress Christina has made going to Oxford Learning. Her reading has far exceeded my expectations in such a short time. Oxford Learning has not only improved her reading, it has also improved her self esteem." - Flo
“Brody has been attending Oxford Learning for 5 months. He was incredibly nervous and shy at the beginning. The teachers have been amazing at helping Brody come out of his shell and have created a safe and welcoming environment for him to learn at his own pace. Over 5 months the teachers at Brody's school have commented on his overall improvement in reading and language comprehension. Brody is in turn more confident in his abilities and doesn't fear asking for help. He is going to continue attending Oxford Learning for the long term. It's a special "club" that he is a part of and now enjoys learning more than ever.” - Samantha
“Andrew usually does not like extra homework or extra help (school education after school time), however, he seems totally fine with Oxford Learning and likes the fact that they help him with his homework.” – Wendy
"We are very proud of Liam's progress at school and with the help and guidance of Oxford Learning, Liam has raised his math grade substantially. Thank you Oxford Learning!” - Karen
Over the last two years now I have seen a huge improvement in my girls' reading and comprehension, moving up 3+ levels. Oxford Learning has given my girls more confidence in school projects and tests. The girls don't have an "I'm stupid" attitude any more. I have tried Kumon in the past with little results, and it ended in a huge headache of take-home homework, which we just fight to complete each night. I have also tried Sylvan Learning; it was a good homework help and support. Oxford Learning has been a far better program and has shown much more success all across the board. I guess the saying is true: you get what you pay for! I enjoy that every six weeks you get an update and overview on how the kids are moving along. Oxford Learning has shown care in my girls and their progress. Thank you for helping us, We think you are great!
About a month ago I enrolled my 8-year-old son at Oxford Learning Cambridge. It was to help keep him motivated to learn and not fall behind. So far he looks forward to his online classes using “zoom.” It has also taken a huge stress off my shoulders knowing that my son is staying on track. Since I am not a teacher I find homeschooling quite challenging at times. A huge thank you to all the teachers at Oxford Learning Cambridge.
The director here is great. She has lots of experience and I’m very confident in all the decisions she and I make together for my daughter.
The first day of school may still be a few weeks away, but September has a way of arriving quickly.
For some families, summer has included regular reading, learning activities, and predictable routines. For others, schoolwork disappeared the moment the final bell rang, while bedtimes and screen-time limits may have followed closely behind.
Most families are probably somewhere in between.
Wherever your family falls, August offers a valuable opportunity to begin preparing for the transition back to school. The goal is not to recreate the classroom at home or squeeze an entire summer of learning into a few weeks.
It is simply to help your child return to school feeling more prepared, capable, and confident.
During the summer, later evenings, slower mornings, travel, camps, and changing schedules can affect the routines children rely on during the school year.
Trying to change everything the night before school begins can make an already significant transition more difficult. Instead, begin gradually adjusting the rhythms that shape your child’s day.
Over the next few weeks, your family might:
Move bedtime and wake-up time earlier in small increments.
Reintroduce more predictable mealtimes.
Reduce recreational screen time gradually.
Set aside a consistent time for reading or another quiet activity.
Practise getting ready and leaving the house at a specific time.
These changes do not have to happen all at once. Small, consistent adjustments give children time to adapt and help school-day expectations feel familiar before September arrives.
Learning can begin with short, approachable activities that help children reactivate skills they have not used as often during the summer. Ten or fifteen focused minutes can be more productive than a long session that leaves everyone frustrated.
Encourage your child to read about something that interests them, write a shopping list, follow a recipe, play a word game, calculate the cost of an outing, or talk through how they solved a problem. These everyday activities help children practise reading, writing, math, memory, and critical-thinking skills without making the remainder of summer feel like a punishment.
The specific activity matters less than creating regular opportunities for your child to think, practise, and experience success.
Rather than assuming your child is excited (or worried), ask open-ended questions about the coming school year:
Your child’s answers may reveal concerns that are easy to address now. They can also help you recognize where additional reassurance, preparation, or learning support may be helpful. Some students manage change easily. Others need more time, information, repetition, or predictability before they feel comfortable. There is no single correct response to returning to school. The most effective preparation begins with understanding what your child needs.
If you’re unsure what kind of support would help your child feel more prepared, you can book a consultation with Oxford Learning Cambridge to talk through your concerns and possible next steps.
August is also a good time to think beyond school supplies and daily routines.
Did homework regularly become a source of conflict? Did your child avoid reading, struggle to remember instructions, or need increasing amounts of help to finish assignments? Were there skills they never seemed to master, even after receiving extra explanation?
It can be tempting to wait and see whether a new grade or teacher resolves the problem. However, learning difficulties do not always disappear with a fresh school year. When foundational gaps remain, new material may feel even more challenging because it builds upon skills that are not yet secure. The Student Learning Profile can help identify your child’s learning strengths, areas for growth, and the support they may need moving forward.
Children do not need to remember every lesson from last year before returning to school. They do need to believe that they can learn, ask questions, make mistakes, and keep trying when something is difficult.
Children do not need to remember every lesson from last year before returning to school. They do need to believe that they can learn, ask questions, make mistakes, and keep trying when something is difficult. Instead of saying, “You’re so smart,” try:
These responses reinforce that learning is a process. They help children understand that difficulty is not proof that they cannot succeed; it is often a normal part of developing a new skill.
If learning activities and school-year routines did not happen as planned this summer, there is no need to panic or attempt an August academic boot camp.
It is not too late to begin.
A few weeks of realistic, consistent preparation can help your child rebuild routines, refresh important skills, and approach the new school year with greater confidence.
Start with one or two changes your family can maintain, then build from there. If you are unsure which skills your child needs to strengthen, Oxford Learning Cambridge can help. Our personalized programs look beyond a single grade or subject to understand how your child learns, where gaps may exist, and what support will help them move forward. Book a consultation or learn more about the Student Learning Profile to help your child begin the school year ready to learn.
