Summer Learning VDV Newsletter/Flyer
Summer is a wonderful time to keep the learning going! The resources below are completely optional, but each one offers a fun, low-pressure way to help your child stay curious, keep learning, and continue building the skills they worked so hard on this year. Whether you explore one activity or all of them, every little bit helps nurture a lifelong love of learning!
At-Home Activities: Looking for something to do together at home? Access reading and math activities through the Tic-Tac-Toe board or this handout for fun ways to keep your child's mind active this summer.
i-Ready Resources: Your child has been using i-Ready throughout the school year to build their reading and math skills. This summer, they can keep the momentum going at their own pace. Learn more by accessing the family guides in both English and Spanish, as well as the interactive math learning games. i-Ready summer access is available until August 5, 2026.
Somerset County Library Resources: Your local Somerset County Library is packed with free summer fun! From the Summer Reading Challenge to monthly events at the Somerville Branch, there's something for every reader. And with a free library card, your family can also access powerful FREE online tools like live tutoring, digital books in 75+ world languages, and personalized reading recommendations. Don't have a library card? Stop by any of the SCLSNJ Branches with ID and proof of address (or a combination of ID and proof of address), and they can make you a free card!
