How about you? How do you plan to help combat the dreaded Summer Brain Drain and keep your child’s mind fresh during the summer? Summer Brain Drain occurs when students are away from the structured learning environment of a classroom and lose the months of knowledge they gained during the school year because they are not regularly exercising their brains. According to research from the Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University, students typically lose one to two months of reading and math skills during the summer break. But there are many things parents can do to help keep children’s minds active during the summer months and avoid these setbacks.
Aside from the traditional workbooks, one way to prevent Summer Brain Drain is by letting your child use the InnoTab 2S Wi-Fi Learning App Tablet from VTech! This multi-media tablet combines interactive reading, learning games, creative activities, and a rich collection of applications into a sleek and durable educational toy that kids will want to play with.
My daughter really loves her new InnoTab 2S. She likes this way better than her V.Reader. I liked it too! It's sleek, durable and INNOVATIVE!
This multi-functional tablet for children ages 3 - 9 includes a photo/video camera, a 5-inch touch screen, 2 GB of onboard memory, an SD card slot for expandable memory, and media players for MP3s, photos, and videos. The InnoTab 2S comes with an art studio, coloring app, one e-book, two motion sensor games, and 2 free downloads from the Learning Lodge Navigator.The built-in digital photo/video camera is really cool! It fully rotates to take images and videos of others or yourself. It's a touch screen and tilt sensor. Plus, it's Wi-Fi and you can personalize the InnoTab 2S for up to four users with photo wallpaper, user name and avatar, a voice greeting and typed greeting. I would highly recommend this product to everyone.

We usually send the big brother to summer camps during weekdays then have him participate in sports activities during weekends. This would be great for kiddos. Thank you!
My daughter participates in day camp and we spend time together outside doing different activities.
Our summer activities at home involves reading a book everyday, doing puzzles, and exploring the woods, and oh exercising hehehe.. We don't really have cool gadgets like this. I think Akesh will be very good with computers as well just like you and Greg.
Summer brain drain is not in our vocabulary here! Or should I say, I'm not gonna introduce such term to the kiddo! Lol. What a cool gadget that is, Dhemz! Perfect for the successful first grader you got! I want one for free, too, so I'll join the giveaway! :D

This is something my kids would love to play with, since they're so into interactive games. I also like the idea that it was like an iPad when it comes to screen size and style but more of like a very kid friendly design. I would love to win and so I’m heading to the giveaway!
We put a limit on TV time. My daughter loves to read and do puzzles and play games outside. I've already bought workbooks for us to do as well.
We will be doing a lot of outdoor activities this summer and she has to do some practice books too.
I want not just one but two hehehe. i want to win this,. my kids are no very techy and don't have gadget like this because we can afford waaaa. poorness to the extreme heheheheh. padauga nya ko bayot heheh

Jake will be entering kinder and justine pre-k next year, he still have a long way to go to learn how to read. justine needs a lot of assistance to for her writing and more
That is wonderful mommy! I would love to have one for my Harley. :) Oh dear! How luck and she does look like she is loving her new gadget. Thanks for sharing!
Harley will be going to school this August, but I am already helping him with learning things at home. Like writing, the alphabets, the colors, numbers, shapes, etc. He also gets to play outside and learn things about mother nature. I would love to win this! :)
wow, that is a cool educational gadgets, hope your daughter will have a lot of wonderful time learning from it
Definitely a wowers mami dhemz :D It's better to give something to our children that are educational this way it'll keep them occupied and at the same time they'll learn something while on vacation :) this is indeed a very innovative product.
Thinking of enrolling our girls for summer activities and also continue teaching them with school works would be helpful for them not to forget what they learn in school.
for my toddlers, summer learning activities involves lots of finger paiting and crafts. we don't do math yet aside from the normal counting.:)
Summer Drain, eh 'Iskul Bukol' naman ang mga anak back then. LOL On the bright note, attending camps and workshops are 2 good activities kids should be involved in during summer break.
i love vtech products though they are quite expensive compared to other gadgets, i would still choose it!
We do activities at local library, reading, my son has school program on laptop, educational trips to museums & enjoying nature
I would probably let them play outside for a while and then let them play interactive learning activities using an online program I have signed up for. Also, watching educational shows can keep their mind fresh as well...
Surely, any kid who would be gifted a tab like this would be thrilled. I see your kiddo loves it so much!
Awww! A is getting big and getting prettier every time I see her new pix :-) Mommy D, you give me an idea on what to get my little K on her 7th birthday. This gadget is very playful and educational. I will check out the Website :-)
A perfect gadget/toy for the pretty girl :-) You deserve this gadget A
:-) Can K play with you too? Btw, Mommy D, you have a beautiful house :-)
I haven't try it, I usually search the net for educational games that kids at home can play. This is an informative apps that I'm sure the kids will love.

We provide lots of books to our grandchildren, which they love. In exchange, before they get the next book, they give us a book report about the previous one.
We are participating in our local library's summer reading program and doing a modified Homeschool curriculum.
We turn on the Wii and have fun with Just Dance!
Thank you.
well, let them to use online educational site for once in a while should be good to keep them on hook...
This would be beyond perfect for my little ones. I love how it will help them learn but be fun at the same time.
Lots of reading books and the occasional educational program!
I buy those activity books and we do 1-2 pages a day and that helps him refresh his memory for school. He'll be starting Kindergarten so its a big deal!
