Summer is supposed to be a break, but for families with struggling readers, it can feel like a daily battle. You’re not alone.
Without the routine of school, parents are left wondering:
How do I keep my child from falling behind this summer?
What should we actually be doing at home?
Is there a better way to help my child without daily battles?
That’s exactly why we created the Keep It Up Tutoring Summer Reading Kit! A free, printable toolkit designed to make summer reading smoother and less stressful.
What’s Inside the Reading Kit?
Here’s a quick peek at what you’ll find:
1. Reading Tracker & Visual Routine
Kids thrive on predictability. This simple tool helps you build reading into your day without it feeling overwhelming. Plus, coloring in fun monsters and space-themed checkmarks adds instant motivation.
2. Reading Bingo Board
The bingo board keeps things fresh and playful. Let your child pick any square. They’re all designed to be short, doable reading challenges. No strict order. No pressure. Just a fun way to build skills and keep reading part of the day.
3. Reading Reward Ideas
Incentives don’t have to feel like bribery. This section includes fun, low-pressure ways to celebrate your child’s effort and progress. You’ll also find themed completion certificates to mark their success. It’s all about making reading feel positive, not pressured.
4. Book List & Creative Reading Ideas
Not sure what to read? We've included a list of high-interest, age-appropriate books for elementary readers, along with some out-of-the-box options to keep things fun. Yes, reading a comic, reading to the dog, or listening to an audiobook all count. The goal is to build confidence and keep the love of reading alive.
5. Encouragement for You
Let’s be honest. This is hard. The kit includes tips and pep talks from tutors who work with struggling readers every day. You’re not failing. You just need support.
What Makes This Kit Different?
This isn’t a checklist of assignments. It’s a toolbox for real families, created by a tutor who understands how hard reading can be at home.
It’s flexible. It’s simple. And it works because it meets your child where they are.
