While you're making vacation memories this summer, boost your child's imagination through reading. In addition to imparting a love of learning, reading leads the way to your child's academic success.
My friend and colleague Patti designs creative activities to challenge and motivate primary-aged children. One of her well-liked creations is the Scavenger Hunt Challenge Box. The purpose of the Challenge Box is to increase vocabulary and to encourage higher-level thinking. Here’s a summer Challenge Box activity based on her idea. If you enjoy the activity, please let me know, and I will make more. Have fun!
