Summer Early Literacy Calendar FREEBIE

As the school year comes to a close and I look over the wonderful progress my students have made, I feel so proud.  Each and every one of them has come a long way since September.  Some of them had never held a pencil or crayon before!


Remember that as a reading teacher, I work with students who need that daily extra practice and reinforcement.  So in the comments of my report cards I always ask the parents to "please engage in daily reading and writing activities throughout the summer."   

To help provide parents with some quick and easy early literacy activities, I created this calendar to help the children engage in continued practice each weekday during the months of July and August.  I hope that by practicing these skills the children will maintain some of the growth they have made.  I know that summers can get busy, so if parents need to skip a day, I feel as if the activities are quick enough to be combined.

Also, last year I also wrote a short article about summer reading loss.  I provided some fun and practical tips to weave reading and writing into the summer days.
