Summer Math and Reading Resources for Students

Why learn in the summer?
πThe learning never stops in ACS!
In fact, the summer is a GREAT time for students to sharpen and practice skills using the knowledge they gained during the previous school year. Students that participate in educational activities over the summer will be better prepared for school in August.
We have gathered Reading and Math resources for each grade level and put them all below. These resources include summer reading lists, literacy activities, math practice, and much more. Make sure to use the summer learning opportunities provided below to stay ahead of the curve!
