Summer is here, you might be wondering what to do to keep your children learning, here some tips from Sal Khan.
"Parents often ask me what they can do for their children's education, especially over the summer. The key is regular daily engagement. I try to spend 20-30 minutes learning with my son on Khan Academy every day – and sometimes those 30 minutes can organically turn into an hour or more when he gets inspired.
Examples of daily activities include:
Get learning!
As a parent, you can play a powerful role motivating your child and being there for help. It can be especially powerful if you learn alongside them. If you do a little bit every day, you and your child will be surprised by how much learning happens.
All of us here at Khan Academy are excited to see what you and your family accomplish this summer. Use the hashtag #KhanSummer on Facebook or Twitter to let us know what you plan to learn, or write to us at[email protected].
Onward!

Examples of daily activities include:
- Working on grade level math "missions" made up of exercises personalized to your child's skill level. This will ensure their math foundations are strong and give them a leg up as they enter next school year.
- Learn how to program in Khan Academy's coding environment.
- Explore cosmology, art history, and the math and science behind making Pixar movies.
