MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - Jul 18, 2011) - (Family Features) The lazy days of summer are meant to be enjoyable, but it's no surprise they can also be a drain on a child's education.
Luckily, boosting kids' brain power doesn't have to mean hitting the books all summer -- it can actually be fun. "It's important to keep children's minds active during the hazy days of summer," said John Holdren, SVP of Content and Curriculum for K12, a leader in online learning for grades K through 12. "There are plenty of everyday activities -- games, puzzles, books, projects -- as well as flexible online courses that can help kids catch up, stay sharp, or get ahead, while still leaving plenty of time for fun in the sun."
Tips for Parents
The dog days of summer can be a busy time for parents, so combat summer brain drain with the power of the Internet. "The best part about online classes is that kids can learn wherever there is an Internet connection, giving them the ability to learn anytime and anyplace," said John Holden. "Classes from K12 make learning not only interactive, but flexible and innovative."
Summer doesn't have to be a brain drain. Get involved with your kids this summer and encourage them to be lifelong learners.
