Dear Parent:

Inside this book, you’ll find one hundred practice pages that will help your
child review and learn the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, sorting, letters
and sounds, and so much more! Summer Express is divided into 10 weeks,
with two practice pages for each day of the week, Monday through Friday.
However, feel free to use the pages in any order that your child would like.
Here are other features you’ll find inside:
• A weekly incentive chart and certificate to motivate and reward your
child for his or her efforts.
• Suggestions for fun, creative learning activities you can do with your
child each week.
• A recommended reading list (on page 8) of age-appropriate books
that you and your child can read together throughout the summer.
• A certificate of completion to celebrate your child’s accomplishments.
We hope you and your child will have a lot of fun as you work together to
complete this workbook.
Enjoy!
The editors

Terrific Tips for Using This Book

Summer Express (between grades PreK & K) © Scholastic Teaching Resources

Pick a good time
for your child
to work on the
activities. You
may want to do it
around mid-morning
after play, or early
afternoon when your
child is not too tired.

Encourage
your child
3
to complete the
worksheets, but
don’t force the
issue. While you
may want to ensure
that your child
succeeds, it’s also
important that he or
she maintains a positive and relaxed
attitude toward school and learning.

After you’ve given your
child a few minutes to
look over the practice pages
he or she will be working
on, ask your child to tell you
his or her plan of action:
“Tell me about what we’re doing on these
pages.” Hearing the explanation aloud
can provide you with insights into your
child’s thinking processes. Can he or she
complete the work independently? With
guidance? If your child needs support,
try offering a choice about which family
member might help. Giving your child a
choice can help boost confidence and help
him or her feel more ownership of the
work to be done.

To celebrate your child’s
accomplishments, let him
or her affix stickers on the
incentive chart for completing
the activities each day. Reward
your child’s reading efforts with
a bonus sticker at the end of the
week as well.

Week–by–Week Activities
Try these quick and easy activities to enhance learning and fun!

Help your child write the letters of his or her
first name. Together, count the number of
letters in the name.
In the park or in your backyard, lie down on
the ground with your child and watch the
clouds pass by. Call out shapes or figures
that you see in the clouds.
While reading the newspaper or a magazine,
encourage your child to look for words that
begin with the same letter as his or her
name. Read the words together aloud.
When eating colored candy, such as M&Ms,
have your child count how many of each
color there are in a bag.

Week 2
While strolling through the neighborhood
or running errands with your child, play
“I Spy,” calling out letters that you see.
For example, “I spy a big, red letter M.”
Using gumdrops or marshmallows and
toothpicks, encourage your child to build
different shapes, such as triangles, squares,
or rectangles.
As your child plays jump rope, encourage
him or her to chant the alphabet, one letter
for each jump.
Buy a set of magnetic letters so your child
can form words on the refrigerator while you
cook.

Week 3
Invite your child to help you bake cookies
and let him or her help measure the different
ingredients using measuring cups and
spoons.

Summer Express (between grades PreK & K) © Scholastic Teaching Resources

Week 1

While reading a magazine with your child,
challenge him or her to find a particular
letter, such as the letter C, on the page and
circle it.
Help your child memorize important numbers,
such as your home phone number, 911, your
address, and so on.
Let your child sit with you while you write
out your grocery list or your list of things to
do. This will allow your child to see authentic
reasons for writing.

Week 4
At the beach, collect seashells with your
child. Later, encourage him or her to sort the
shells any way he or she wants. Then ask
your child to explain how he or she sorted
the shells.
Finger-trace letters on your child’s palm or
back and have him or her guess what letter
you formed.
Make pasta or cereal necklaces with your
child to help build fine-motor skills. Provide
your child with a length of yarn or lanyard
and pasta or cereal with holes in the middle.
Write each letter of your child’s name (first
and/or last) on a small square piece of
paper, then put the pieces of paper inside an

6

envelope. Give the letters to your child and
have him or her use the letters to create
different words.

Bath time is a great time to learn about
things that sink or float. Let your child bring
some waterproof toys in the bath. Then ask
him or her to guess whether each toy will
sink or float before putting it in the water.

Week 5

Summer Express (between grades PreK & K) © Scholastic Teaching Resources

At the beach, use a stick to print out your
child’s name on the sand before the waves
come in and wash it away. Then challenge
your child to write a letter as many times as
possible before the waves return.
Challenge your child to guess how many
steps it takes to go from the front door to
your kitchen or from the bedroom to the
bathroom. Then have your child walk heelto-toe and count the number of steps. Ask
your child: Do you think it would take more
or fewer steps if I (or another grown-up)
measured the distance the same way?
Create riddles with your child in order to
practice beginning consonant sounds. For
example, “It’s round and fun to play with. It
begins with the b sound.” (Ball)
Next time your child wants to paint, offer
only the three primary colors (red, blue,
and yellow) and encourage your child to
experiment with mixing the colors to create
new ones.

Week 6
Turn exercise time into learning time.
Challenge your child to form letters with his
or her body, either lying down or standing
up. Some letters he or she can form are T, L,
X, and Y.
Go on a “shape hunt” with your child.
Encourage him or her to look for circles,
rectangles, squares, and triangles around
your house or when you go for a walk.
Provide your child with old newspapers,
safety scissors, paper, and glue. Encourage
him or her to cut out letters in his or her
name and paste them on a sheet of paper.

Week 7
Let your child look out the window and count
how many cars or people pass by in 3 to 5
minutes.
Fill a shallow cake pan with sand or salt.
Invite your child to practice tracing a letter in
the sand with his or her finger.
Play a clapping game with your child to hone
his or her listening skills. Clap a simple
pattern, such as clap-rest-clap, and ask your
child to repeat the pattern back to you.
Gradually increase the complexity of the
pattern as you continue the game.
Encourage your child to button his or her
own shirt, zip his or her own zippers, and tie
his or her own shoelaces to build fine-motor
skills.

Week 8
Provide your child with toothpicks or plastic
straws and play dough and encourage your
child to use these materials to “build” letters.
Gather a collection of buttons and invite your
child to sort the buttons by different
attributes. For example, your child can sort
the buttons by color, by the number of holes,
and so on.
Make a list of high-frequency words—words
that appear frequently in the English
language—such as, the, to, and, a, he, I, you,
it, of, in, was, said, that, she, for, and so on.
Pick a word of the day and have your child
point out that word every time he or she sees
it that day.
Enlist your child’s help in creating a healthy
fruit kebob snack—and practice patterns.
Using small wooden skewers and

7

Week 9
Play “Simon Says” with your child to
introduce the names of different body parts.
For example, “Simon says, ‘Pat your
stomach’” or “Simon says, ‘Touch your
knees.’”
Go on a measuring expedition with your child.
Pick a nonstandard tool of measurement
(such as a spoon or shoe) and measure
different things at home, such as the rug,
dining table, or bed.
Give your child chalk to write letters on the
sidewalk. Encourage him or her to make the
letters as big as possible.
Next time you go to the park with your child,
bring some paper and crayons or pencils,
and make rubbings of tree trunks, leaves,
and so on.

Week 10
Give your child coins to sort. Help him or her
identify each coin and how much it is worth.
Have your child write letters using glue and
glitter. Your child can squirt glue on paper to
form a letter, then sprinkle glitter on the
glue. When the glue dries, your child can
trace the letters he or she has formed with
her finger.
Play dice with your child to help teach or
reinforce the concept of “greater than” or
“less than.” Each of you take a die and toss
it in turn. Whoever tosses the higher number
gets a point.

different fruits, have your child make ABAB
patterns (like banana, strawberry, banana,
strawberry) or even ABCABC patterns (grape,
banana, blueberry, grape, banana, blueberry).

While riding in a car, challenge your child
to call out letters and numbers on license
plates.
To make the mini-book on pages 127–128,
tear the sheet out along the perforation and
cut along the dashed line. Place the two
sections so the mini-book pages are in order,
then staple and fold to form a book.
