Summer Programs - Learning Should Not Feel Like School
Time4Learning is a great change from school and for some children, a great antidote (and an interesting alternative to attendance at summer school). What this means is that many children have developed some bad habits related to school. They've found themselves in a rut where their learning style and the school's teaching style are not working together. This is especially likely with children who find themselves needing remediation after completing the school year without learning all of the material. Time4Learning allows the student to control the pace and learn the material, which can be a maturing opportunity for them. The summer school environment, in many ways, would just recreate the classroom environment with all the same distractions, teaching styles, and attitudes that created the problem in the first place.
Summer School Learning Online
Most children find school either boring or too difficult at times. Of the many solutions, one of the most effective is to get the children to engage more fully with their studies. Time4Learning, as an online enrichment program, allows parents to have children follow a full self-running curriculum at home which provides reinforcement and added depth to their school studies. Alternatively, using Time4Learning's online lesson plans, the parents can select online lessons that reinforce the unit that is being done simultaneously at school. Either way, Time4Learning has provided wonderful enrichment to thousands of children -- Why not yours?

"The Summer Bridge Program - Not what my child wanted"
"My son's school recommends that the students use the Summer Bridge Books. The problem is that Alex, my son, used them last summer and hated them."
"They wrecked my summer, it was just like school" Alex complains. And it was true. Alex and his mom had fought about those workbooks all summer. Alex's mom said that it really should not have been a big deal.
"I was only looking for 40 minutes per day on weekdays but Alex got so worked up about those Summer Bridge Books that it left a bad taste in all our mouths."
But Alex has now finished another difficult year in school and the teacher had stressed in the report card and meetings that Alex should review his third grade math and work on his reading comprehension to be ready for fourth grade. So Alex's mom was looking for an alternative for the Bridge Workbooks. One of her friends recommended Time4Learning. We gave it a try and it was an instant success. Also, Alex's math and reading comprehension skills were greatly improved Time4Learning so he was much better prepared for the new school year than ever before.
