Bibliography.
Teachers complain the most about the fact that now children have become extremely few to read books. They have other, more interesting activities - computer games, TV, game consoles, and yes, I want to play with my peers in the yard. But the school curriculum was not canceled. It is known that intellectual development largely depends on what, how much and how your child reads. His worldview should be formed on the basis of various factors, including with the help of books. Usually the school assignments for the summer are given by the teachers themselves. This can be a list of recommended reading literature. But it is not always interesting to the child, because your child may prefer entirely different stories. Therefore, it is better if you add such a list yourself. Dilute boring books with fascinating ones. And it's okay if you yourself recommend the child to read books about Harry Potter, and not the edifying creations of the classics. Senior students are more difficult every year, because they need to read and assimilate hundreds of volumes. If you know that in the next school year your child will have to read War and Peace, Anna Karenina and other long and complex works, let him read some of them over the summer. Then during the school year he will only need to reread and remember what he already knows.
Complex lessons.
Even those children who learn well and easily do not equally successfully overcome difficulties in different school subjects. Someone is strong in mathematics, but someone is easier to give literature. Anyway, every child has his favorite and unloved subject. Unloved subjects are usually those whose performance is suffering. When preparing school assignments for the summer, be sure to pay attention to those lessons that are given to your child with difficulty. You will be able to fill the problems in knowledge and skills for the summer, which means that the new school year will start much easier, because you will not have to catch up and at the same time learn new things.
Is it all about character?
Some children find it difficult to learn new, because they perceive information at the wrong pace, in which it is usually served at school. To slow and shy children it is important to pay more attention to the home and deal with them separately, even if only in the family. Therefore, for such children, school assignments for the summer should be made taking into account not only the repetition of the material passed, but also the assimilation of a new one. Such a child is better, if at school he studies what he has already seen at home. He will start to have more time and, accordingly, assessments will improve, and there will be a desire to learn.
To the little geniuses.
Children who have outstanding abilities in a particular field are just as difficult as those who have low academic achievement. Gifted children, as a rule, quickly learn the school curriculum and for their full development constantly need more and more new knowledge. School assignments for the summer for such children should be made with special care. The entire child will repeat this entire program very quickly, as soon as he learns the basics of what he is going to study in the new academic year, and you will find that this is not enough. If you yourself do not know how to help a gifted child to get new knowledge and skills, hire a tutor or create a child such leisure for the summer that would help him develop. For example, a thematic summer camp - with an English bias, if your child is a polyglot, literary if he gives hopes in this area or mathematical. So he can realize himself and learn at the level that suits him.
School assignments for the summer seem to many children an unfair obligation, because they have honestly disaccustomed a whole year and also want to relax. It is important to convince the child of the importance of such activities, to show him that small efforts will lead to the fact that next year he will be able to learn better, which means that there will be fewer problems. But try not to overload the child with classes, because in the holidays the children still have to rest. Find that way of motivation that acts more convincingly on your child, and move to the intended goal gradually. By the end of the summer, every child has a chance to turn from a tri-student to an honors pupil, if you choose the right approach, program and organize classes. And you can be sure that it is not as difficult as it seems.
