Fit Learning St. Louis

As of Saturday, summer is officially here. The backpacks are put away, the schedule is gone, and your kid has already asked "What are we doing today?" approximately 47 times. If you want to keep their skills sharp (without making it feel like school), that's kind of our thing at Fit Learning.

We like our Wednesdays Wacky around here.

Wondering why some kids struggle with reading no matter how much they practice? It often comes down to how they're being taught. Fit Learning coaches are trained in structured literacy and the Science of Reading — grounded in how the brain actually processes language. As learning scientists, we understand not only what to teach but how to teach. That foundation changes everything.

World Environment Day is June 5, and it's a great excuse to get outside, explore, and let kids ask a lot of questions about the world around them. Curious kids who notice things, read about things, and wonder how things work tend to be strong learners. That's the connection we see every day at Fit Learning. Here are some fun eco-friendly activities to try with your family this week.

Your child isn't just learning to read or do math at Fit — they're also building the brain skills that make learning stick. Things like working memory, focus, and flexible thinking. Turns out that's exactly what researchers are now recommending schools do. We've just been doing it all along.

Should executive functioning be more thoroughly embedded in math curricula? Cognitive flexibility and collaboration are among skills strengthened by the subject, researchers say.
