The 2–2–2 Summer Plan for Reading & Spelling


Hello!

Summer tends to shift things. One week you’re on a roll, and the next week someone’s at the beach, at camp, or just done.

Instead of trying to squeeze in full lessons several days a week, the idea is to keep skills active with a routine that's realistic for busy summer schedules: ✔ 2 days a week✔ 20 minutes a day✔ 2 types of practice If you'd like to learn...
