July – Back-to-School Prep with Confidence

Introduction: A New School Year, A Fresh Start

As July rolls around, the anticipation of a new school year begins. For parents, this period can be both exciting and daunting. Preparing children, especially in terms of literacy and emotional readiness, is key to ensuring a smooth transition back to school. At Kids Soar, we understand the importance of setting kids up for success through our summer programs, which focus on nurturing both academic and social skills.

Fostering Literacy Skills

Reading is at the heart of learning. Encouraging your children to read during the summer not only prepares them for the upcoming school year but also instills a lifelong love of learning. At Kids Soar, our summer programs include engaging reading activities tailored to children in grades K-5. These programs aim to enhance reading skills in a fun, interactive environment, making literacy a core part of summer fun.

Establishing Routines

Routine is crucial for young learners transitioning back to school. Start by adjusting bedtime and morning routines gradually as the school year approaches. A consistent schedule helps children adapt more easily to the school day structure. Incorporating daily reading time can further enhance their readiness and academic focus.

Emotional Readiness for School

Preparing children emotionally for school involves encouragement and support. Celebrate their achievements from the previous year and discuss any concerns they may have about returning. Our family-strengthening workshops at Kids Soar are designed to support parents and guardians in fostering a positive home environment, further aiding in emotional preparation.
