The end of school is near, yet again, and you may be bringing over the thought of the summer fast approaching. Many parents aren't quite sure how to manage the time when children are off of their school schedule. Here are some tips: Take what is most important to you and set that into the schedule first, ensuring nothing is taking over that. Take what is the next thing that is most important to you (i.e. Having nap times scheduled in, children's time with friends, children's times reading, etc....) and structure things around that. Next, add in those things that just be done but aren't as important as the top 2 above. Think about what is REALISTIC and be willing to choose and give way to things that already aren't as needed. Having a schedule, a routine, a constancy each day for our children helps them to: ~Behave well ~Be to bed on time, etc.... ~Stay focused on the priorities But it also helps us to do the same. For a Summer Weeklong Program that helps your child learn self-discipline, focus, and perseverance while excelling in their Reading and Math concepts, contact me through this page. ❤️

The research tells us that having books at home stops summer learning loss AND that children in under-resourced communities have fewer books at home. ALL children deserve to have access to books and reading, and at Books Are Wings, we're working to build the libraries of young readers across Rhode Island. "Prioritizing learning as a year-round commitment, and implementing programs that support summer learning, limit summer learning loss, which in turn reduces the achievement gap." (BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, Volume 14, Issue 2, 2022) You can have a big impact in the life of a child this summer by supporting our Stop the Summer Slide Campaign. Give today, and help make reading a key part of every child's summer experience: https://bit.ly/3XfopGi

Congratulations to Lexicon Strategies partner Polly McKinney who directed "Stepping Up: Afterschool and Summer Learning", a new documentary for the Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network (GSAN) that sheds light on the vital need for out-of-school time (OST) programs in Georgia. OST programs like afterschool and summer learning aren’t just a convenience—they’re necessary for child safety, academic and career success, youth mental health, parent employment and overall community well-being. This film raises the huge benefits of aftershock and summer programs and inspires action to ensure every child across Georgia has access to these critical programs. Here's why such programs are important: ➡️70% of Georgia parents say that after-school programs help them keep their jobs ➡️90% of students in a 4-year afterschool program graduated high school ➡️Over 238,000 of Georgia’s children are alone and unsupervised between 3 PM and 6 PM Watch it here: youtu.be/-6or4QL1-p8
