Lakeshore@ Launches Are You Ready? Game Shows@ to Prepare Kids for the
New School Year -- and Make the Most of Summer Break
CARSON, Calif., April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Lakeshore
announced the launch of a new series of play-at-home games designed to
prepare children for the next grade of school-Are You Ready? Game
Shows@. This exclusive set of innovative and interactive learning
games provides an easy way for parents to prevent summer learning loss
and improve children's school performance in the coming year.
Lakeshore's Are You Ready? Game Shows@ will be available April 15,
2014.
Developed by Lakeshore's team of expert teachers, these new games
target the most essential math and language skills needed for success
in kindergarten through 5th grade-while keeping kids incredibly
engaged as they take on the exciting role of game-show contestants.
Each Are You Ready? Game Show@ comes packed with six different games
that put children's skills to the test as they answer questions, earn
pretend cash and win cool rewards.
Included with each game is a free online assessment that shows parents
the exact skills their child may need to work on. Parents simply enter
the game results on Lakeshore's website, and they instantly receive
free printable activities that target the skills their child needs to
polish before the new school year begins. As an added bonus, Lakeshore
also provides product suggestions aligned to those skills for even
deeper levels of support.
"Our Are You Ready?Game Shows@ were created to help prepare children
for the upcoming school year," said Patti Rommel, Lakeshore's Director
of Research & Development. "According to the National Summer Learning
Association, students can lose over two months of grade-level
equivalency during summer-so we're thrilled to be offering parents
games that pinpoint important skills, prevent summer learning loss and
are fun for their kids to play."
Lakeshore's Are You Ready? Game Shows@ will be available April 15,
2014, at lakeshorelearning.com and at Lakeshore Learning Stores
nationwide for only $29.99 each. To learn more about these innovative
games, visit lakeshorelearning.com/areyouready.
