Here's what your kids can do this summer

MANILA, Philippines - It’s almost the end of the school year and parents are in a quandary as to what they’d like their children to do this summer vacation.

“For our kids, summer is usually all about playing, whether on the PC or outside of the house. They stop thinking about school for about two months and focus their energies on just play. What we wanted is even if they play during summer, they should also be learning, even if not that heavy as in school,” says one mom in her late 30s.

“Our worry is that their brains become stagnant because of the summer lull, and that their brains would be at a standstill once they go back to school. For a mom like me, it’s my worry every school opening,” another mom of two kids states.

Research shows that among kids, memory lapses account for wasted effort and time in school, particularly during the first few months after the summer vacation. Fortunately, NumberWorks’nWords (www.numberworksnwords.com.ph), an international learning center for Math and English, offers a solution that maximizes kids’ learning by making them “enjoy” learning.

“We help kids master and advance their skills in Math and English, thereby enabling them to start the next school year with their minds primed from the get go to effectively learn new material in school. Our innovative and enjoyable approach keeps kids coming back for more sessions, even after the school year starts,” notes Professor Dan Handy, managing director of NumberWorks’nWords.

Professor Handy also points out that NumberWorks’nWords’ goal-oriented system has been fine-tuned for over 25 years since the first center opened, and that the system is individualized for every student age or disposition. He says the system, which includes meaningful motivation through competition and personal merit certificates to document crossing checkpoints and passing levels tests, allows tutors to approach problems from multiple angles very efficiently.

The beauty of NumberWorks’nWords’ formula is that it makes kids fully enjoy the learning process. Even though the subject matter is serious and the practice is hard work, this does not mean they can’t enjoy doing it. At the same time, kids get the benefits of the center’s purpose-built software created by the company’s own software designers and educators, informed on child psychology research and experienced in meeting students’ needs.

The system excels at solving many of the worries that face so many parents to promote a love of learning early in childhood. With a free evaluation and trial lesson, this proven after-school Math and English system targets exactly what goals parents can watch out for, while each lesson continues to identify needs to improve achievement levels.
