Did you know all students experience some “brain drain” during the summer, most notably in reading and math? What can you do? This summer, find ways to maintain and boost your child’s learning by incorporating educational activities into your regular routines. We will be sending out a summer connections newsletter to elementary parents seven times throughout the summer by e-mail with fun and easy ideas to incorporate reading and math activities into your summer activities along with grade-specific reading and math practice sheets.
Reading is a smart summer activity
The best way to keep strong readers strong and help struggling readers improve is to have your child reading regularly over summer.
Select a book that you can start reading aloud with your child this summer, or that your child can read independently. Check out the lists from our King County Librarian— book recommendations for Summer 2019 for some good ideas.

PLANNING for MORE FUN and EDUCATIONAL EVENTS ...
Students not yet reading at grade level in the Reading Assistance Program (RAP) and Special Education students in grades K-5 are participating in a summer book club.
Just before school ends, students selected 10 high interest books and magazines at their independent reading level.
Parents are asked to ensure their child reads daily
Summer Book Club (Grades K-5)
Summer math practice = Fall class success Students can lose up to 3 months of math learning over the summer. Help keep this from happening by checking out the hints sent in each newsletter and encouraging your child to complete the skill practice sheets. There are lots of great math websites, and we’ll send you links with each newsletter. Please know that we have tried to find websites that don’t have too much advertising. Finding ones that are advertising free is almost impossible. Be sure and check out the website yourself just to make sure it meets your expectations before having your child play the math games.
It’s summer! Get out and play Some kids look at summer as one long TV/videogame/social media session. It is important to keep your child involved in physical activities, talking with others and engaged in activities outdoors. Consider some fun summer time activities that encourage physical fitness. Remember that we have some great public parks for use!
Have lots of chats with your kids Summer is also a time when kids may go to camp or spend more time out of the house with friends. The best way to know what’s going on with your child is just to ask!
What did they do today? What was the best part of the day? What was something interesting that happened today? What did they read? What did they observe?

o Read with your child and share the tasko Listen to your child read an easy or familiar book alone
1) Talk about the pictures, title, or subject of a book to build anticipation and practice predicting
2) Echo reading – you read a sentence and your child repeats it.
3) Alternate reading – take turns reading sentences, paragraphs or pagesparagraphs, or pages.
4) Fill in the blank ‐ read along normally and then pause for your child to fill in the word. Stop on a word encouraging your child to use the letter/sound clues along with the context to fill in

o Fluently add and subtract within 20 (2.OA.2)
Talk with your child about numbers.
Compare numbers, order numbers, count
backwards, count forwards, count by 2s,
