The Children’s Literacy Charity has produced a ‘Book Buzz’ summer learning pack to help keep literacy skills alive over the long Summer holidays. The activity pack is now available online!
This year, the charity has created a summer activity pack which was distributed by our tutors to all Literacy Lab children and is now up on our website too.
The pack was designed to help avoid the ‘summer slide’: a well-documented phenomenon when due to the length of the summer holidays, some children lose valuable literacy and learning skills. Sadly, learning loss is most pronounced among children from disadvantaged backgrounds due to a range of factors, including limited access to books and educational resources and fewer opportunities for enrichment activities.
Our ‘Book Buzz’ summer pack has lots of fun literacy ideas linked to stories available online. Children will need to access one story for every week of the holiday and can then complete activities which include drawing, talking, making and writing, either independently or families can join in and enjoy sharing stories. Happy Reading!
