FAQ

How do I use the Summer Reading Pack?

⌄

Print and hand out to your Kindergarten students as independent work, a center activity, or a fun end-of-day wind-down. Most pages need nothing more than crayons or a pencil, so they work well for early finishers or a take-home summer packet.

What is the Summer Reading Pack?

⌄

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 the Summer Reading Pack at home and in the classroom?

⌄

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten summer activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, 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.

What is a summer bridge calendar?

⌄

A summer bridge calendar is a plan of short daily activities that keeps skills fresh between one grade and the next. The Kindergarten to 1st grade calendar has 50 activities over 10 weeks, Monday to Friday, each about 15 minutes.

What summer activities are there for kindergarten?

⌄

Summer packs for reading, math, crafts and games, summer number pages, sorting and matching games, dot to dot and color by number pages, a busy book, and a Kindergarten to 1st grade summer bridge calendar with a goals checklist.

What should a child know before starting 1st grade?

⌄

Naming all the letters and their sounds, reading about 25 sight words, counting to 100 and writing the numbers to 20. The Kindergarten to 1st grade goals checklist lists these with a box to check for each one.

Is there a certificate for finishing the summer bridge?

⌄

Yes. The summer bridge completion certificate works for kindergarten to 5th grade and has lines for the child's name, the grade they are ready to start, a signature and the date.
