As always, keep your child reading a minimum half hour each day. You can also have him/her figuring tax, adding grocery bills, food bills, dividing bills, etc. to work on basic math skills. You can find various math and English websites where they can "play" games that are actually educational in nature. These are quick ways to keep your child learning throughout summer. Always check the LAUSD website for various educational You Tube channels: https://achieve.lausd.net/domain/4
