The dreaded “summer slide” is real. Research shows that students can lose hard-earned academic ground over the break, especially in math and reading. But just a few hours of learning each week can make a big difference—and that’s where IXL can help. IXL’s popular Ultimate Workbook series now includes our new Ultimate Summer Workbooks! Available for students entering 2nd through 4th grade and covering essential topics across math, English language arts (ELA), social studies, and science, the Ultimate Summer Workbooks are your all-in-one tool for preventing the summer slide and helping your student get ready for the next grade.
Created by education experts from IXL, these workbooks offer students and parents a premium summer learning experience packed with colorful and whimsical illustrations, thoughtfully crafted questions, and a variety of hands-on activities designed to keep learners engaged.
Read on to learn more about how the Ultimate Summer Workbooks can transform your child’s summer learning!
Simplified summer learning
The Ultimate Summer Workbooks provide straightforward guidance for structuring your child’s summer learning. Each workbook is divided into 12 weeks of five days, and students are welcomed each day by two colorful pages of activities that can be completed in about 15 minutes. After completing the daily pages, learners can mark their progress and show off their accomplishment by coloring in the bubbles on their book’s activity tracker.
This quick daily practice makes learning a consistent part of summer days and helps students build confidence as they explore new topics for their upcoming grade!
Beyond skill practice
IXL’s summer workbooks aren’t just for skill practice. Each page of the workbooks has been carefully designed to ensure that there are a variety of activities to keep kids engaged and spark critical thinking! Learners will have fun with the physical and sensory Brain Break activities that are sprinkled throughout the books, and Beyond the Workbook Ideas offer simple, exciting challenges designed to help your child flex their curiosity and creativity during the summer break.
On and offline learning
Your Ultimate Summer Workbook was designed to connect seamlessly with your IXL membership, giving learners balanced opportunities for on and offline skill mastery. When students use both resources side by side, they can take full advantage of the immersive IXL learning experience. Look for the skill ID on each workbook page and head to IXL.com or the mobile app to dive into more questions, instant feedback, and a personalized action plan tailored to your child!
