Help Your Child Build Stronger Reading Skills This Summer

The Summer Reading Toolkit for Foundational Reading Skills gives parents simple, practical activities to help children strengthen important early reading skills at home.

Inside, you’ll find short, engaging activities that help children:

• Break words into syllables and sounds

• Connect letters with their sounds

• Sound out words instead of guessing

• Blend and read simple words

• Build confidence and enjoy reading

• Learn tricky high-frequency “heart words”

The activities use easy materials such as coins, magnetic letters, sand, picture cards, and books you may already have at home. They are designed to be fun, manageable, and easy to fit into your summer routine.
