Evan-Moor’s award-winning Daily Summer Activities Summer Spark Program keeps students engaged and ready for the next school year. With just 10–15 minutes a day, this program offers structured, screen-free activities to help students stay on track academically and confidently enter the next grade.
"I assigned Daily Summer Activities to my incoming first grade class for the 2024–2025 school year. I was extremely happy with the spiral review the book provided, enforcing early foundational skills. It was easy to use. I had many parents who liked having a set program to follow and commented that they would use Evan-Moor next summer on their own. Evan-Moor resources are a staple in my classroom, and I highly recommend them."
Mrs. N, First Grade Teacher
Research shows that children often lose academic progress during summer break, leading to setbacks that compound over time. Evan-Moor’s Summer Spark Program is designed to combat these losses with research-based, grade-specific activities that build and retain essential skills.
Mathematics: Students lose on average, 25–34% of their school-year math learning over the summer. The most significant declines occur between 5th and 6th grades, where up to 84% of students demonstrate a slide in math skills.
Reading: Students lose 17–28% of their school-year gains in reading, with cumulative setbacks equivalent to two months of proficiency.
