  Time4Learning: A Summer ProgramHow to use Time4Learning as a summer program. Many parents register before school has ended so that they can familiarize themselves with the features and functionalities of the program.
How do I use Time4Learning during the summer for review of the previous year’s work?Many students are told that their skills in one or more subject areas did not develop as suggested during the school year. Time4Learning provides a method to repeat the curriculum. Time4Learning’s curriculum is standards based and often follows the same sequence as used in the public school system. "A friend recommended you and I was hooked instantly!" shared Melissa, after using Time4Learning as summer remediation for her first and fourth graders. "I recommend you all the time and I am hoping to use you for my second grader this summer. He is needing some help. Thanks!" Parents like Melissa, whose children attend a public school, often begin by placing their child in Time4Learning in the same grade level the student just completed at school. Students may be placed in different grade levels for different subjects. If the initial placement doesn’t seem to be a good fit, the grade level can be adjusted later. Time4Learning’s lesson plans can be compared to the student’s school reports to determine where work is needed. Since the lessons and activities may be worked in any order, sometimes tests are given first, to identify areas requiring further study. The activity finder can be used to access individual lessons for targeted practice. Go back to the top or sign up now. How do I use Time4Learning during the summer to prepare for the upcoming school year?KFarm (a user on Time4Learning's parent forum), whose first grader attends a private school, wrote, "We used T4L both to help remember the prior year’s lessons and to try and get a head start for the next year . . . I was very pleased with the program!" Parents who are interested in giving their child a head start on the following school year frequently place the student in the Time4Learning grade level they will be entering in the fall. As always, students may be placed in different grade levels for different subjects. Although the lessons may be worked in sequence, a popular method of school year prep is to allow the student to pick and choose the lesson activities he finds most interesting from among the hundreds offered at each grade level.

Second graders learn to recognize the  How do I use Time4Learning during the summer as a summer school alternative?Time4Learning is a curriculum, not an accredited school. However, the curriculum is used in public schools nationwide, under the name CompassLearning. If you have been told that your student needs to go to summer school, you can show your local administrator the Time4Learning lesson plans and report format to see if a parent-supervised use of Time4Learning is acceptable. Time4Learning’s reporting system provides progress reports with records of activities completed, scores on graded activities and a time stamping feature that records the hours of study completed by day. With pre-authorization and supervision, it is possible that Time4Learning could be approved by school authorities as a viable substitute. Go back to the top or sign up now. How do I use Time4Learning during the summer to maintain academic skill and enthusiasm?Kris wrote about her daughter’s experience with using Time4Learning to maintain academic skill. "This year, she ended the year a couple of grade levels ahead in Language Arts and right on level for Math. For her, this is great! ON LEVEL FOR MATH?!?! A child of mine?! Thing is, we don't want her to lose it all over the summer. So this year we will be keeping her brain fresh with T4L math. I'm thrilled to have this for her to use and she likes the activities way more than a book or a worksheet." Students like Kris’ daughter often skip between the grade level they just finished and the grade level they will be entering in the fall. Time4Learning provides an easy method of grade level adjustment. Some students will concentrate on a subject they find challenging, such as math. Others find a review of several subjects helps keep skills sharp. Parents can keep track of their child’s activity by reviewing the student’s portfolio. Go back to the top or sign up now.
