investment in summer learning, advancing its commitment to
providing students, educators and families with year-round learning
that not only closes the gap but propels student achievement.
Scholastic has acquired rights to LitCamp, a foundational reading

A blend of print and digital resources, the Scholastic
summer learning portfolio includes Scholar Zone Summer,
My Books Summer, Grab and Go
Take-Home Book Packs and Summer Express. LitCamp and MathCamp
complement these offerings and lay the foundation for
evidence-based teaching and learning that is engaging, inclusive
and impactful.
"During the summer months, Scholastic provides educators and
families with the support they need to keep students engaged in
learning, starting with access to books and the instructional
resources needed to sharpen reading and math skills and build
student confidence," said Dr. Amanda
Alexander, Chief Academic Officer, Scholastic Education
Solutions. "Understanding that no two schools are alike, the
Scholastic summer learning portfolio provides the flexibility to
create a well-balanced solution for summer learning to meet
students' needs."
Scholastic summer solutions also help families build and expand
home libraries that engage students and enrich learning. As the
Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report™ shows, 41%
of children get most of their books from school, making additional
access to books during the summer months critical. Scholastic
summer learning solutions combine high quality, high-interest books
with vibrant, grade-level instruction to accelerate learning and
spur student success in the classroom and into the future.
