Summer break is right around the corner—and while it’s a perfect time for kids to rest, play, and explore, it’s also a crucial time to help them hold on to what they’ve learned during the school year. At Martin’s Children’s Books, we believe in mixing fun with learning, especially during the sunny months when routines are more relaxed.
Here are five simple and enjoyable strategies to help your child retain their knowledge—and maybe even learn a little more—this summer!
1. Read Every Day (Even if It’s Just for 10 Minutes!)
Make reading a regular part of your summer days. Whether it’s a bedtime story, a morning read-aloud, or a quiet afternoon break, reading strengthens vocabulary, comprehension, and imagination. Choose books your child loves, and don’t forget to explore our collection—Black Boy Be You and ABC’s of Kindergarten are perfect confidence-boosters for growing readers.
2. Turn Everyday Moments into Math Practice
Math doesn’t have to mean worksheets. Count seashells at the beach, sort snacks by shape, or estimate the grocery bill together. Our book Surrounded by Numbers offers fun ways to see how math is already a part of daily life.
3. Create a Summer Learning Routine
A little structure can go a long way. Set aside just 20–30 minutes a day for learning activities like journaling, writing letters to friends and family, or coloring affirmation pages. Our printable workbooks and coloring books can help make this time creative and meaningful.
4. Play Educational Games
Board games, card games, and even simple scavenger hunts can boost problem-solving, reading, and collaboration skills. Let your child be the “teacher” and come up with their own game based on something they learned this year—it’s a great way to reinforce knowledge.
5. Incorporate Affirmations and Emotional Wellness
Don’t forget that learning isn’t just academic—it’s also emotional. Encourage your child to express themselves and build confidence with daily affirmations. Our upcoming Positive Affirmation Coloring Book is a great tool to support emotional growth while engaging their creativity.
Bonus Tip: Keep an eye out for our new digital learning kits and seasonal bundles, designed to make summer learning fun and screen-light!
We hope your summer is filled with joy, adventure, and just the right amount of learning to help your child feel confident when the new school year begins.
Happy Summer from Martin’s Children’s Books!
