Another great thing I like about this program is that you can take it with you easily as you travel throughout the summer. It would work well for activities on an airplane, long car ride, waiting at a restaurant or at Grandparents house. The supplies needed are simple things and you can easily print out a theme and bring it with you without having to carry a large book. Here’s how the Sun Scholars Family has enjoyed using this terrific program Sun Scholar Families. Are you ready to become a Sun Scholar?

The Summer Learning Bridge group has really done a superb job making a summer academic review program that is easy and affordable for us parents to use!
SPECTRUM Workbook Series:
Although both my daughter and I really enjoy the summer bridge program, I really want her to have more practice reading for an academic purpose. She usually reads books of her choice at least 1 hour every day and is becoming quite a well versed, fluent reader. A trip to the local teacher store (these are great for parents too) led me to the Spectrum set of workbooks. The picture is a link to the same one I purchased on Amazon, they have all the grade levels available there too. (I just like shopping locally when I can!) I went in looking for first grade reading material that was organized in a visually clear manner. I mainly was looking for a reading specific book so that we could focus on reading comprehension, phonics, and fluency in on-grade level text. Although I went in for one book, I ended up getting three; the Reading, Language Arts, and Math one as well. The writing book used dotted lines in both red and blue which is very visually overwhelming for my daughter who struggles to see well daily, so I didn’t purchase that one! These are are very basic and not as “fun” looking, but excactly what I was looking for. (I went through 10 different companies books cover to cover to find this one!)
