Staying Busy During Spring Break

Spring Break starts this week, which means most students (adults and kids alike) won’t be in school.

Don’t worry! Even if you aren’t in class, there are still some things you can do to ensure you’re staying busy during Spring Break.

1. Read with Your Kids

Probably the easiest way to ensure you continue to learn English during this week is to read to your kids. It doesn’t matter what types of stories or books you choose, just make sure they’re in English. Whether it’s right before bed or in the middle of the day, reading with your kids can be incredibly enjoyable.

If you aren’t confident in your reading abilities, consider checking out Unite for Literacy. Not only are there a ton of books on this site your kids will enjoy, but the computer will read them out loud for you! This is a great way to learn new vocabulary words and spend some quality time with the kiddos.

2. Listen to Audiobooks

In addition to reading with your kids, another option you have is to listen to audiobooks. There are a variety of apps that you can download onto your phone that give you access to a wide range of stories, so you’re sure to find something that you enjoy.

The best part about audiobooks is that you can listen while doing other things. It doesn’t matter if you’re driving, working, doing chores, or just hanging out, you can have a book playing in the background.

Audiobooks are ideal if you’re traveling. Whether you’re in the car or getting onto a plane, pop your headphones in, be transported to another world, and immerse yourself in some English!

3. Spend Some Time on Burlington English

If you happen to have the Burlington English app, spending some time on it during Spring Break can be incredibly beneficial—even if it’s only 5 minutes a day.

At night, right before you go to bed, instead of scrolling through social media, open the BE app and do a quick lesson. Sitting in a waiting room? This can be a great time to do some English lessons on your phone!

It Doesn’t Take Much

Spring Break is only a week long, and it can be hard to find time to study, but by finding ways to include the kids or engage in activities while on the go, you can still study over the week and improve your English skills.

Enjoy your time off!
