Elijah's Summer Anti-Slide

A summer training program to keep your brain sharp and blast you into 3rd grade ahead of the pack. Read, spell, and crunch numbers — your math engine runs hot, so the problems here are turned up past 3rd grade.

Beat the Summer Slide

Over a long summer, kids can forget some of what they learned — teachers call it the summer slide. The fix is easy: do a little brain work most days. This page has three training stations you can come back to all summer, and they make a new problem every time, so you'll never run out.

Three stations

🐝 Spelling Bee — hear a word, then spell it.
📖 Reading Lab — read a short passage and answer questions.
🚀 Math Engine — pick a skill and solve as many as you can. Build a streak!

Goal idea: Each day, get a 5-in-a-row streak on the Math Engine, spell 5 words, and read one passage. Do that and you'll start 3rd grade flying.

Station 1

🐝 Spelling Bee

Hear the word, picture it, then type it letter by letter.

Tap Hear the word (your device will say it out loud), read the sentence and hint, then spell it. These are 3rd-grade spelling words with a few challenge words mixed in.

Spelling practice

Press "New word" to begin.

Spelled right: 0
Stuck? Press "Hear the word" again, say it slowly out loud, and listen for each sound. Then build the word one chunk at a time.

Station 2

📖 Reading Lab

Read carefully, then prove you understood it.

Read the passage, then answer the questions. You can scroll back up to check — good readers reread!

Score: 0 / 0

Station 3

🚀 Math Engine

Pick a skill, then solve a never-ending stream of problems.

Since your math is running at about a 5th-grade level, these go well beyond basic 3rd-grade adding. Pick a skill below — each one makes fresh problems forever, and a correct answer keeps your streak alive.

Pro move: For multiplication and division, work it out on scrap paper before you type. For "Order of Operations," remember PEMDAS — do what's in parentheses first, then ×/÷, then +/−.

Quick brain check

Mixed Review

A little of everything. Tap your answer to see if it's right.

1. Which word is spelled correctly?

2. What is 7 × 8?

3. Solve: 3 + 4 × 2
