What a great resource. Can't wait to explore those links. Wish I had seen this in time to forward to parents before school was out. My dad used to give us the option: four hours of summer school or one and one-half hours of supervised dad instruction. Another nice article with complementary reading (although low-tech print)tips is found at http://penningtonpublishing.com/blog/study_skills/summer-daily-brainwork/
