School may be out for summer, but that doesn’t mean that the learning needs come to a full stop. With the Ready to Learn series, children can keep up with their studies and—we promise—it won’t seem like a chore. These learning tools are jam-packed with activities that reinforce specific grade-level foundational skills in reading, writing, science, and math. Moms and dads can rest assured that each workbook or flash card set meets Common Core Standards, while children will love the colorful illustrations and kid-friendly format.
Summer Workbooks: Grade 2 & Grade 3
Specifically designed to helps to prevent learning loss during the summer, these workbooks aim to bridge the gap between grade levels and set kids up for success before school even starts. Ten levels cover important concepts such as number sense, grammar and punctuation, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and more.
Like the idea of a workbook but can’t find the time? As a mom, I like to build 1-2 pages into my children’s daily routine. Right after breakfast (and before screen time) usually works best for us, that way we get our work done for the day. To help incentivize them, each workbook also includes a Certificate of Achievement to celebrate upon completion and sticker rewards (though video game time after definitely helps, too!).

Write & Wipe Workbooks: Pre-K to 1st Grade
Perfect for the youngest of students, Ready to Learn’s Write & Wipe series features the same content as found in the regular workbooks, only on dry-erase full-color pages. An erasable marker lets pre-kindergarteners to first graders practice their reading, writing, and math skills over and over again.
Flash Cards: Pre-K to 3rd Grade
Getting ready for a long plane ride or road trip? Ready to Learn’s flash card series makes it easy to take learning on-the-go. Each pack includes 48 double-sided, two-color cards that reinforce sight words, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and more.
