Best Tools to Help Kids Learn Over the Summer Holidays

Kids don’t have to be in a classroom to learn. When they’re out of school for the Holidays, they are still plenty of opportunities for them to gain new knowledge. You can help them learn by introducing them to three simple tools designed to get them interested in learning, even if they don’t realize that’s what they’re doing.

1. Ask Questions

Sometime during the toddler years, kids go through a why phase. They use that question to help them figure out the world and everything in it. Unfortunately, many kids quickly grow out of the why stage. To help kids learn over the summer, re-introduce them to the art of asking questions.

Know your students

Knowing a student's interests can help you create examples to match those interests.

If a student who loves basketball comes to you with a question about a math problem, you might respond to her with a problem involving basketball.

If a student who speaks Spanish at home comes to you with a question about English vocabulary, you might answer his question and then ask him what the word is in Spanish and how he'd use it in a sentence. This type of specific responding shows that you care about your students as people and that you are aware of their unique strengths (i.e., fluency in another language).

If a girl in your class is particularly destructible, you can support her efforts to concentrate by offering her a quieter area in which to work.

Education is the mode to realize one’s dream. Holistic learning helps the individual in self-discovery and develops a clear vision of the path to choose and goal to attain.
