We designed four weeks of fun, easy-to-implement summer learning activities to help kindergartners through fifth graders practice important skills and get ready for next year. Print these worksheets and projects out a week or two at a time and schedule some quiet work time throughout the summer. An adult’s help may be needed for some of the science activities. Keep the sessions low-pressure and fun, and reward your child’s work with enthusiasm. Remember, kids this age respond much better to positive feedback — and the main point is for your child to enjoy learning and taking on new challenges, not to get everything “right”.
