Summer Reading Incentives!

There are many summer learning opportunities for all elementary students. It is important to encourage children to engage in both reading and math activities throughout the summer to reduce the “summer slide.”


Summer slide is the loss of academic skills and knowledge over the course of a lengthy break. To ensure students are engaged in learning during the summer break, the following activities and incentives have been planned for all elementary students.

Summer Reading:

The Neshaminy Elementary Canvas Summer Reading Course is perfect to keep students’ reading skills polished during the break from school. All students received an invitation to the 2024 Summer Reading Canvas Course. Please log in to Canvas with your child at home to accept the course and review the information.


Once in the 2024 Summer Reading Canvas Course you will find:


Neshaminy continues to make the Elementary Summer Reading lists accessible through the Sora app. found within the Canvas course outlined above. With Sora, you can get free eBooks and audio books to enjoy at home over the summer. For quick access to the information outlined above, feel free to access the Summer Reading Newsletter.

Summer Learning with i-Ready:

In addition to the 2024 Summer Reading Course and challenge, Neshaminy has extended student i-Ready access into the summer. Using i-Ready My Path students will be provided with personalized instruction throughout the summer. All students can continue to access I-Ready using Clever throughout the Summer until August 10, 2024. On August 12, 2024, we will begin preparing for the new school year so the program will not be available until the start of school.

As a District, we are encouraging students to complete reading and math lessons on their individual i-Ready My Path throughout the summer. Students are encouraged to spend thirty minutes a week in both Reading and Math with a goal of completing ten lessons in each area. A My Path Tracker is included in the newsletter for your child to use throughout the summer.

For any family that would prefer access to printable packets this summer, grade level Math activity packets and Reading Bingo Boards are once again included in our Summer Newsletter linked below for access throughout the summer.
