There are so many different ways you can supplement your child's education out of school. Almost any activity at home or in the community can turn into a learning activity. You can make each activity appropriate for your child's level. For example, in the grocery store, turn the shopping experience into an I Spy game. Have your younger child guess what kind of food you are describing. After they guess, have them go and get it! For your older child, give them a list of their own and let them practice their reading as they find the items on their list.
As you're driving, have your younger child practice categories by naming all the animals, vehicles, and types of buildings they see. Your older child can practice counting all the items they see or finding all the letters of the alphabet on the signs you pass.
Before you go on a special outing such as the zoo, talk to your children about the different things they might see. Make a list of their favorite animals and have them follow the maps to find those animals.
At home, spend time as a family reading together. Play educational games that include concepts such as colors and numbers. Make up your own guessing game by describing an item to your child and having them guess what you're thinking of.
When you turn any everyday activity into a learning experience, your child will be having fun and not even realize they are learning at the same time!
