Sylvan Summer Smart Workbook: Between Grades K and 1

Research shows that students lose anywhere from one to three months of learning over the summer. Sylvan’s Summer Smart series helps kids retain the knowledge learned from the previous school year so they show up sharp and ready for the next school year. In addition to hundreds of reading and math exercises re-purposed from other titles, the Summer Smart series includes newly-created content like: teacher tips for staying sharp on break, “Vacation Challenge” activities and games, grade-specific reading lists, flashcard sheets, and a “Summer Smart.” achievement certificate. Workbook publishing is competitive. Summer workbook publishing is even more so, with category leaders like Summer Bridge and Brain Quest. Our new Summer Smart series is not only competitive on pricing and content, but is also backed by a nationally-recognized name parents trust and admire. Sylvan has more than 750 learning centers across the US and is the market share leader among all test-prep brands. What’s more, according to independent research, students in Sylvan’s Personalized Tutoring programs show more academic growth in their math and reading scores than other students. None of our competing workbook lines can say this. Sylvan conducts national online display and Facebook advertising around summer learning and staying sharp, beginning in mid-spring. Our books will benefit from the awareness of Sylvan as a summer resource from this campaign.
