following activities are designed to complement the ten weeks of practice pages in this book These activities don’t take more than a few minutes to complete and are just a handful of ways in which you can enrich and enliven your child’s learning Use the activities to take advantage of the time you might ordinarily disregard—for example, standing in line or waiting at a bus stop You’ll be working to practice key skills and have fun together at the same time Finding Real-Life Connections One of the reasons for schooling is to help children function out in the real world, to empower them with the abilities they’ll truly need So why not put those developing skills into action by enlisting your child’s help with butter creating a grocery sugar list, reading street milk signs, sorting pocket eggs change, and so on? bread He or she can apply flour reading, writing, science, and math skills in important and practical ways, connecting what he or she is learning with everyday tasks An Eye for Patterns A red-brick sidewalk, a beaded necklace, a Sunday newspaper—all show evidence of structure and organization You can help your child recognize something’s structure or organization by observing and talking about patterns they see Your child will apply his or her developing ability to spot patterns across all school subject areas, including alphabet letter formation (writing), attributes of shapes and solids (geometry), and characteristics of narrative stories (reading) Being able to notice patterns is a skill shared by effective readers and writers, scientists, and mathematicians Summer Express Between Grades K & © Scholastic Teaching Resources Journals as Learning Tools Most of us associate journal writing with reading comprehension, but having your child keep a journal can help you keep up with his or her developing skills in other academic areas as well—from telling time to matching rhymes To get started, provide your child with several sheets of paper, folded in half, and stapled together Explain that he or she will be writing and/ or drawing in the journal to complement the practice pages completed each week Encourage your child to draw or write about what he or she found easy, what was difficult, or what was fun Before moving on to another set of practice pages, take a few minutes to read and discuss that week’s journal entries together Promote Reading at Home ◆ Let your child catch you in the act of reading for pleasure, whether you like reading science fiction novels or do-it-yourself magazines Store them someplace that encourages you to read in front of your child and demonstrate that reading is an activity you enjoy For example, locate your reading materials on the coffee table instead of your nightstand ◆ Set aside a family reading time By designating a reading time each week, your family is assured an opportunity to discuss with each other what you’re reading You can, for example, share a funny quote from an article Or your child can tell you his or her favorite part of a story The key is to make a family tradition of reading and sharing books of all kinds together ◆ Put together collections of reading materials your child can access easily Gather them in baskets or bins that you can place in the family room, the car, and your child’s bedroom You can refresh your child’s library by borrowing materials from your community’s library, buying used books, or swapping books and magazines with friends and neighbors Skills Review and Practice Educators have established learning standards for math and language arts Listed below are some of the important skills covered in Summer Express that will help your child review and prepare for the coming school year so that he or she is better prepared to meet these
