Summer Reading Pack
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Summer Reading Pack" is written for Kindergarten (Ages 5-6). If your little one is a year younger but already steady on summer activities, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and summer reading never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

What does this resource teach?
⌄
This printable summer resource gives Kindergarten students a seasonal activity, whether that's a coloring page, matching game, craft, or a skill-practice resource with a summer theme. Use it for end-of-year fun, a summer learning packet, or anytime a seasonal twist helps keep kids engaged.
Can I use this summer reading resource for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten summer activities, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with summer reading. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
What is in the Summer Reading Pack?
⌄
Reading focused summer activities for early readers, covering sounds, sight words and simple comprehension. It is built for short daily use over a break rather than as a course to work through.
How much should my child read over the summer?
⌄
Daily, briefly, and mostly with you. For a kindergartener, ten to fifteen minutes of reading together does more than any independent target. Being read to matters as much as reading, because it keeps the vocabulary growing.
My child refuses to read in the holidays. What now?
⌄
Change what counts as reading. Comics, recipe steps, signs on a walk, and the same favorite book for the twentieth time all count. Reading a loved book repeatedly builds fluency better than a new book a child has to be persuaded into.
How many Kindergarten summer reading resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are summer reading resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten students, roughly ages 5-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these summer reading resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
