This Summer Review Packet includes eight week’s worth of materials designed to keep students’ skills sharp over the summer. No skill and drill worksheets – this summer packet makes kids think! And NO prep for you! Simply copy and send home with students at the end of the year.

These ELA review activities also work well as an engaging filler during those hectic last days of the year, review during the first few weeks of school, or anytime you need thematic reading, writing, or maker work for students.
