Exams are done. School is out. Time for long, lazy summer days. Or the Family Vacation. Yes, it is important to unwind from the school year and enjoy the Summer.
Summer is also a great time for many students to catch up and get ready for that Standardized Test or that difficult class next school year. Even just a few hours a week can make a large difference in helping the student stay in touch with school material or ease the student into a more rigorous Test Prep mode when school reopens.
There are several reasons why this is important. Completely disengaging from any academic work over the summer break means it will be harder to get back into study mode when school reopens. That does not mean that the student should study all summer and not have any fun at all. Just a few hours every week can keep academic chops alive and in shape, so you don't have to start from scratch.
By starting now, over summer, it gives the student a relaxed and easy schedule to start with and build confidence with the course material or the Standardized Test. Even as few as 2-4 hours a week over the summer can contribute to that higher grade or higher Test score.
Summer is also a good time for remedial work. Students can catch up, or prepare to retake a course or class or just simply review a course they did not do so well in that may be a building block to a more difficult course next school year. Reading, Writing, Study Skills, Organizational skills - all these can be practised and improved over summer, so you are ready to hit the ground running!
