Explore Learning A-Z's Summer School Theme Packs, a collection of resources that can be used to deliver skill-based, differentiated instruction that can be adapted to any summer school setting. Refer to the Overview and Lesson Plan for more guidance.

Instructional Tips

  • Plan accordingly: Lesson plans are organized into five-day sessions and center around a specific theme and targeted comprehension skill.
  • Optimize student learning: Allow flexible implementation by encouraging students to work in whole-group, small-group, and independent settings.
  • Encourage collaboration: Provide opportunities for students to work with peers to answer a theme pack's overarching Key Question.
  • Maintain skills: Use summer learning programs to preserve students' academic skills and prevent "summer slide," the loss of knowledge that can occur during the summer break.
  • Make reading a priority: Motivate students to read with reading contracts and logs.
