Letters from Around the World

Reading Challenge.

Letters from Around the World is a fun reading challenge that keeps your child reading all year by igniting their interest in the world.

Kids get mail from explorers and go on an expedition every week to explore a new country.

They read letters from explorers, do hands-on educational activities, go on virtual field trips, and more!

This reading challenge:

  • keeps kids reading skills sharp,
  • stops the dreaded summer slide,
  • helps kids grow adcademically, and
  • strengthens family relationships.

Happy travels!

Stop the summer slide.

What is the summer slide?

Per Scholastic, studies show that kids lose about 20 % of their school-year gains in reading during the summer break. This means kids enter the next school year at a lower reading level than the one they just finished.

How to avoid the summer slide.

Studies have also found that summer reading programs are effective in preventing the summer slide.

So, we designed an inexpensive summer reading program to keeps kids interested in reading all summer long and prevents the summer slide.
