As my kids get ready for moving into the summer I know that there is always the concern that there is a summer brain drain and that my girls will lose some of the momentum that they have made over the year. It is important to have resources that can be used throughout the summer. Summer Brain Quest which is on sale April 18th) is an exciting new extension of the bestselling Brain Quest. In Summer Brain Quest parents get an effective tool to help attack the summer slide.
Summer Brain Quest is notable because it offers a one-of-a-kind learning experience that delivers personalized learning for every type of kid. Personalized learning is an educational method where exercises are tailored to each child’s strengths, needs and interests. Our goal was to empower kids to have a voice in what and how they learn, while ensuring they get enough practice of the fundamentals. It achieves this through our interactive format.
Summer Brain Quest is structured like a game; each book includes a pull-out map that guides kids on a learning quest. They fill in their route on the map by earning stickers for completing workbook pages as well as pursuing outdoor activities. The map offers a choice of routes, allowing kids to customize their learning path and pursue what excites them most (extra math problems? more hands-on science?), and also encouraging them to jump around within the book to follow their curiosity.
Each Summer Brain Quest workbook has been created in consultation with an award-winning teacher specializing in that grade. We ensure that our exercises are aligned to Common Core State Standards, Next Generation State Standards, and state social studies standards.

I try to take the grandkids to the Library at least once a week to get a book to read

Plan daily activities that include learning. For example, create summer reading lists and have 20 minutes of reading time each day. It’s also helpful to sign up for summer reading programs that provide prizes for the kids. Our local library has one and Barnes & Noble has one off the top of my head.

Another strategy for minimizing the summer slide is to involve the kids with the local Summer Reading Program and the local Library.
