This important information from a retiring educator and colleague of mine provides parents with helpful and useful resources designed to keep our kids engaged in "brain work" during the summer months (information is being provided to our LifelineExtensions.blog readers verbatim):

"Entertaining Educational Resources Key to Keep Kids Learning throughout the Summer"

With the school year ending, many parents are starting their annual search for fun educational resources to keep their children learning throughout the summer months.

To help, Verizon Thinkfinity (http://www.thinkfinity.org/) has added a new Summer Learning feature.  From rhyming poems and songs for the early elementary school set, to tips to help teens write a children’s picture storybook, Thinkfinity Content Partner ReadWriteThink has created a robust summer learning feature to keep kids excited about learning.

Thinkfinity also offers parents and care providers free webinars to help them make the most of all the free resources available on Verizon Thinkfinity.  Visit the Professional Development section on Thinkfinity.org for a complete list of general audience and educator webinars.

Join the new Thinkfinity Community to see what others are saying -- and what they’re doing to make the most of Thinkfinity resources all year long.
