Motivate learning over the summer

When students use the summer months to practice concepts they learned during the school year, they are better prepared for school in the fall. But as parents, how can we motivate our kids to continue learning during their summer break? 

IXL’s printable coupons are a simple and fun way to reward your children for their summertime efforts and inspire them to keep learning all summer long! By setting achievable goals and celebrating success, you can ensure that they are always working toward the next challenge. 

The best part? You can get started with our pre-filled suggestions, or customize your own with the goals and incentives that work best for your child!
