Summer vacations may be a chance to take a break from school, but it doesn’t mean that learning fun doesn’t have to stop! Did you know that school students that read more are more likely to score higher on tests like the SAT and ACT Exams? You will have to give those soon enough! Plus, novels and books included on summer reading lists can give you some major historical and social context for certain courses! You’d be prepared for the next class without even knowing it! Just like exercising keeps muscles in shape, reading is what you need to keep the brain in shape. Though yes, literary classics are extremely vital to developing written and verbal skills, your favourite contemporary novels can provide just as much help and influence in improving your reading ability!

For most Excelsiorites, summer marks a clear change of rhythm! Whether it’s travelling or just kicking back and relaxing, this is the time for students to have fun! During the holidays, whether it is parents or students, we all are SO much more relaxed. This gives us (and especially students) the freedom to be creative and focus on activities and habits that make us better versions of ourselves.

For an educator, the key to success with any student would be to ensure engagement with the material they are learning. More often than not, that is easier said than done. For many students, the traditional classroom approach is unengaging. As a result, they aren’t effectively learning or understanding the material being taught. This is where the role of inquiry-based learning comes in.
