Some Good Deals (& a FREEBIE!) for Summer Learning!

Have you heard of the “Summer Slide?”  

No – I’m not talking about the double winding slide at the new playground.  We’re talking about summer learning loss.  

Research shows that our kids’ learning slides backward during summer break.  Often kids lose months of precious reading and math learning they worked so hard to acquire throughout the previous school year.

Now don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying we should freak out and sit our kids down for hours of boring worksheets or assignments during their summer vacation.  They definitely need their outdoor time and unstructured summer fun.

But with some fun resources (with good deals on them, too!), you can combat that dreaded summer learning loss – and even encourage new learning throughout the summer months, too.

Check out these seriously good deals on some fun tools to encourage “Summer Brain Gain” instead of “Summer Slide”…

5 Good Deals and 1 Fun FREEBIE to Fight Summer Learning Loss - Who said summer learning had to be a drag? These kids kits and games make summer learning super fun and easy!

One parent says:

“I was so excited to receive this DVD, but I was not prepared for how wonderful it would be! Few things exceed expectations in the way this learning tool did. I purchased it as a reinforcement tool for my middle schooler and she has really benefitted from it. As an added bonus, my preschooler is also well on his way to learning his multiplication facts, too!” – Lacey F.

A Bluebee Pal is a plush talking educational learning tool that sings, reads and even answers phone calls.  The innovative technology includes lip synchronization that allows the animal’s “mouth” to move while you’re reading storybooks, engaging in learning apps or singing songs.  Children can also entertain family and friends when using Bluebee Pals as a wireless speaker phone.

Bluebee Pal would be perfect to take along while traveling this summer.

(It can also be a wonderful tool for engaging non-verbal special needs children!)

As one parent put it:

Our Bluebee Pal, better known to my preschoolers as Leo the Lion, is providing loads of educational fun, so much so that I doubt the kiddos realize they are learning as they are playing. – Teri W.
