Keep Learning Alive in the Old Dominion This Summer
Research shows that children who read for pleasure and
explore new things in the summer do better and forget less
when they go back to school in the fall. Check out
this webpage by the Virginia Department of Education with
ideas for summer learning that may be shared with parents,
caregivers, or students as the school year ends. The
activities included in
“Virginia is for Lovers of Summer Learning!” provide
engaging ideas to help students continue learning over the
summer, not only in reading, but in other subjects, too.
