Get Ready for School with Our "Summer Activities Printable Workbook"
Welcome to the "Get Ready For School" series and our "Summer Activities Printable Workbook" by Playground Press! This workbook is an essential resource for parents looking to support their child’s learning during the summer months. By engaging young learners in fun, developmentally appropriate activities, the workbook helps them prepare for the upcoming school year, while also preventing the dreaded "summer slide."
Combat Summer Learning Loss with Fun and Learning
Research shows that children can lose up to two months of academic skills during the summer, particularly in math and reading. This phenomenon, known as summer learning loss, is especially prevalent in early learners. Our "Summer Activities Printable Workbook" is designed to combat this loss by providing engaging activities that keep kids’ brains active during the break. Studies have found that structured learning during the summer can prevent this skill drop and even improve knowledge retention for the new school year.
A Learning System to Keep Your Child Engaged
The "Summer Activities Printable Workbook" includes 180 pages packed with educational content that bridges the gap between school years. Each activity is carefully designed to reinforce the skills learned during the previous school year, ensuring that your child stays on track. By focusing on interactive exercises in literacy, math, and summer-themed science, this workbook helps children retain knowledge while having fun.
Key Features of the Summer Activities Workbook:
- Language and Literacy: Games and exercises that develop early reading and writing skills, crucial for long-term literacy.
- Math Skills: Engaging activities that promote number recognition, counting, and basic math operations, helping to offset the common drop in math performance over summer.
- Summer Science: Fun, seasonal lessons that teach children about the world around them, sparking curiosity and a love for learning.
Build Creativity and Confidence with Hands-On Activities
This workbook also encourages creativity and self-expression through a variety of fun tasks like mazes, coloring pages, and crafts. Not only do these activities support cognitive development, but they also improve fine motor skills. Your child will gain independence by completing these tasks on their own, boosting their confidence in their abilities.

Printables FAQ
Printables FAQ
CAN I PURCHASE PRINTABLE ITEMS using MY iPAD or iPHONE? Yes! You can make purchases from your favorite tablet or other device. However, be sure to open the product emails using your PC or MAC computer - the majority of the files arrive as "ZIP" files containing the printables and will not always open correctly using your iPhone or iPad or other tablet device.
WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF PAPER TO USE? For worksheets, coloring pages, or any other type of printable that you are not using more than once, regular printer paper will work great! We recommend using Cardstock or High Gloss Photo Paper for best results on printables that will have more than one use, for example flashcards and readers.
WHAT ARE MY PRINTING OPTIONS? You can either use your own color ink-jet printer or print out at a local print shop (Staples, Kinkos, etc.)
SHOULD I PRINT MYSELF OR SEND THEM TO A PRINT SHOP? You can do either. I would try your personal printer first and if you are not getting a quality image, I may consider taking it to a commercial print shop.
CAN YOU PRINT MORE THAN ONE TIME? Yes! If you save your pdf file, you can print as many times as you would like!
DO I NEED TO BUY ANY SOFTWARE? No. ADOBE ACROBAT READER is the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all PDF documents. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free download. You will need this download to use the editable version of our printables.
