A June 25, 2008 article from the Southtown Star (Tinley Park, Illinois) highlights ways in which parents can use typical summer activities as fun and simple learning opportunities for their children. Meal preparation, time outdoors and family trips are all discussed in terms of the educational lessons they offer (including cognitive thinking, reading/writing, math, science, geography and social studies). The article suggests that students who are encouraged to engage in the learning process over the summer months tend to be better prepared to return to school in the fall.
The article is available at the Southtown Star Web site.
