Maintaining Gains

Posted on June 13, 2014 by cmschilly

Here you will find a compendium of suggested resources to maintain academic progress made during the school year for elementary aged children.The PDF includes resources for:

Math Apps
Math Fact Practice Websites & Games
Links to Book Recommendation Lists for Elementary Students
Spelling, Phonics, and Reading Apps
Writing Apps
Journal Prompt Books & Websites
Parent Recommendations (books, websites, & articles)

At Tuxedo Park School we value a developmentally appropriate approach to summer work that balances enjoyment of the slower pace of summer with consistent exposure to topics covered and skills mastered. These resources are not assignments, but possibilities as families craft the summer schedules and routines that are right for their child.
