Jonathan's Summer School

In the last two summers, all five children have attended summer classes at the elementary school or received private tutoring. This year, Jonathan has arranged his own reading and enrichment program at home. Every morning, the children each read for one hour and then work on a transitional workbook (e.g., between second and third grade, seventh and eighth grade). He has stocked up on fruit snacks that mark the end of each half-hour or hour of work.

The best part of the deal is that they can use their reading time for our local public library's summer reading program. They're pretty pleased that they win prizes each week and stand a fighting chance of winning the grand prize at the end of the summer (a bicycle or Ipod, depending on their age).
