Benefits of Summer Homeschool – Part II


Do you remember when you were younger and realized on the first day of school in the fall that you had managed to forget just about everything you’d been taught the previous year?  One of the benefits of summer homeschool is that kids remain on top of their game all year round.  Not only does this mean increased retention of material, but it also means that you don’t have to spend a quarter of the year in review.  You can move straight on to the new stuff!  This is a plus for students who usually balk at re-learning.

An additional benefit to summer homeschool is that if your child does need extra help in a particular subject you have ample time to concentrate on helping him master it without stressing that he will fall behind.  This fosters confidence and a love of learning in the student and greatly reduces stress on both teacher and pupil.

An important benefit to summer homeschool is reduced cost overall.  If you don’t have to spend time reviewing in the fall, then you don’t need all those review textbooks, workbooks and worksheets.  You can just concentrate on new material!
