January is a wonderful time to slow down and enjoy family moments, but it can also lead to learning loss when routines disappear completely. Yet just a few minutes a day are enough to maintain reading, writing and oral communication skills.
At LEAD Learning Club, 91% of our members improve their skills after only six weeks of reflective learning. Reflection strengthens understanding and transforms language into confident, meaningful communication.
Here is a simple weekly challenge schedule to keep your child engaged during January.
Week 1
Spark Challenge : Read for five minutes A small spark of reading to keep the mind active every day. |
Magic Word Challenge : Learn a new word A new word becomes a secret superpower. |
Enchanted Memory Challenge : Describe the best moment of your day An invitation to relive a special moment with imagination. |
Week 2

Magic Translator Challenge : Rephrase difficult parts of a text in your own words Turn a complex passage into clear language, as if a wise wizard explained it. |

Week 3
Star Challenge Step into the life of a shiny star and write a short story about its life. Organize your story in three parts: beginning, middle and end. Add three adjectives to make your writing more vivid. |

Just a small, consistent effort is enough to start January stronger, more confident and ready to learn.
