Do you 'make' your kids do any school work in the summer hols?

[Curlewwoohoo]

Interested in perspectives as I mull over whether to bribe or threaten DD or leave her be! DD is heading into yr6. She had a solid school report. She's very reluctant to do any school type work at home and always has been. I am very twitchy about it, I would LOVE to spend time over the summer helping her with her spellings, maths, teaching her to type, supporting reading. Full disclosure that she's dyslexic so I'd like to pick up on particular things to help her. Any such suggestions do NOT go down well. I'm conflicted as I understand she needs a break, I think it's good for her to be outside or get bored, but I also don't want her to fall behind. Give it a couple of years tops and there's no way she will do what I think, so I've got a limited window!

We continued with bedtime story and/or self reading as DS got older
During primary a great activity was compiling a holiday scrapbook of special days out and holiday itinerary with photos tickets leaflets of places we had visited etc which is still really nice to look back on.
Secondary school age not a hope in hell of any holiday work being done !

Yes, every day for two hours. Reading should be done for fun, and thus isn't included in the two hours. Maths, foreign languages, public speaking, art, and creative writing are typical components. It's just part of the normal day's schedule, mirroring WFH. Fun stuff is also done - physical movement is essential.

Yes. Mine do the doodle maths summer challenge, continue with their usual sports, read every day.
My oldest is now in secondary, and they have holiday homework set in maths, english and science. When he was in primary school, we did toe by toe (he is strongly dyslexic), and a lot of reading every day. It really worked, he now has a reading age above is actual age, and a very good work ethic.
Youngest is not dyslexic, but some work is good for him.
We do more in the weekends as i work full time, so youngest is at holiday camps 5 days a week.

This thread is from last year, so as it's come back to life, I can give an update. In the summer at home we did some cgp summer work books and a lot of reading. We dropped nessy (dyslexia app) and typing (touch type read and spell) as they were causing a lot of fall outs at home. I pushed nessy back at school in September, and they also gave it up after a while as she just wasn't approaching it in a way that would bring about the potential benefits. From a parenting perspective I would have liked to have done more but have had to back off and leave it to DD and school. It seems this was a good move as she aced her SATs, with 103, 108 & 116! She still can't spell and probably never will but that's what spell check is for...
