Quad Cities Pediatrics

School's out for the summer in most of Alabama. Parents of students with dyslexia sigh with relief, but also know the summer is no time to slack up. To prevent learning loss during the summer, find fun ways to keep reading and growing.

Audio books from the library for summer family driving trips keep everyone entertained, while sentence structure, rich vocabulary, and intriguing story help learning without them realizing it.

Do a family reading together while at home. One summer we did all the Harry Potter books on audio together, usually at night after busy days.

Find Alabama Parks and country parks to visit and explore. Make a chart on a state map and mark off the spots you visit. Or go chasing waterfalls, or cool water spots locally.

Take a hike! Time walking along a city Greenway builds memories and allows conversations.

Week long day summer camps and VBS can be great times of fun and learning.

Start a young book club! Gather young friends, choose a book, and get together for snacks and discussion. Your local library probably has summer programs that would be fun.

Have a great summer!

Yesterday we got to celebrate Emma. 🎊🎊 It was bittersweet because it was her last day at QCP, but for good reasons. She is headed to medical school. We are so proud of her and wish her all the best. We will miss her so much. We are hopeful she will chose pediatrics… hint hint Emma. 🤣 💕
