[quote=Anonymous]My kids always had ~15 min Khan Academy (what ever they wanted), ~15 min keyboarding, and ~30 min reading before they were allowed to do anything else involving screens (TV, computer, gaming). Sometimes they were busy all day with swim team and neighborhood playing and didn't do any summer work, sometimes they spent a large chunk of the day indoors on computers and had summer work done by 8am. If they had summer work from school, that could get done during those set aside times. I never made it a super structured task - it just fit in with other things that were going on. But with the almost daily practice, by the end of each summer my kids had read many books (weekly library trips), ramped up typing skills (they were always faster than peers), and made a surprising amount of progress in Khan Academy on topics that interested them.[/quote]
