[quote=Anonymous]If you child is looking to close a gap in academics I would start with asking him to connect with a trusted teacher and share that he has identified this as an area of academic weakness - but wants to work aggressively to fill in areas before he starts college and ask the teacher to help him create a plan. If it was my kid, I would start with reading. Listen to an audio book a week and write a book review. It is only through lots of practice will your child improve. After doing this for 8 weeks, I would move onto reading 1 article a week that is long format from something like the NYTimes or an academic source and write a summary of what he learned from the article. Do this task, 1 article a week, through the end of the school year. Over the summer, take a course for writing the college personal statement. Writing is about practice. You are not going to get better unless you put the work in.[/quote]
