What about history and social studies? How can you help your child in the content areas this summer?<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I will start today with the idea of keeping the skills your child has already developed during the academic year and then moving in to helping to build his skills in specific subjects.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">If your child is at grade level and you do not feel a need to INCREASE his skills this summer but rather just help him keep the skills he has, you will probably do well with any of those \u201csummer\u201d workbooks. I personally like the \u201cComprehensive Curriculum\u201d books. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">With the \u201csummer\u201d type of workbooks, you would get the one for the grade level your child just finished (not the one he is about to go into). <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I personally like the general ones that have a little bit of each subject. The one that Jakie is doing this summer has five areas of study (reading, writing, math, social studies, science), and he has to complete one page from each area on our \u201csummer school\u201d days. This makes it simple for him and for me. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">These types (especially the Comprehensive Curriculum ones) are super inexpensive (and in color\u2014actually amazingly affordable for such high quality). <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I get mine at the wholesale club, but here is a link for some you may order online: https:\/\/www.homeschoolingsupply.com\/cgi-bin\/search\/search.cgi?Terms=Comprehensive+Curriculum or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1561893706\/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_i=1561893749&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=0K5ZBEAQMA84RND0WKW0\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1561893706\/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_i=1561893749&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=0K5ZBEAQMA84RND0WKW0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Another option is to just print off various types of worksheets online for your child to do. I prefer having all of the pages in one book in a systematic order\u2014and the color of the workbooks makes it more appealing than isolated workbook pages. However, if you just want to have him practice just writing or just math, you might want to do a search for free worksheets online. The internet is a plethora of materials for you to use with your student.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I can\u2019t end a \u201ckeep your child\u2019s academic skills alive\u201d post without reminding you of the two things that can do more to build reading, content area (history, science, etc.), and thinking skills than any workbook could: (1) reading together; and (2) discussion. Don\u2019t overlook these two avenues for keeping your child\u2019s school skills sharp.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if your child is a terrific reader but has trouble with math?
