Dear Parent:
Congratulations! You hold in your hands an exceptional educational tool that

will give your child a head start into the coming school year.
Inside this book, you’ll find one hundred practice pages that will help your
child review and learn the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, sorting, letters

and sounds, and so much more! Summer Express is divided into 10 weeks,
with two practice pages for each day of the week, Monday through Friday.
However, feel free to use the pages in any order that your child would like.
Here are other features you’ll find inside:
• A weekly incentive chart and certificate to motivate and reward your

child for his or her efforts.
• Suggestions for fun, creative learning activities you can do with your
child each week.
• A recommended reading list (on page 8) of age-appropriate books
that you and your child can read together throughout the summer.
• A certificate of completion to celebrate your child’s accomplishments.
We hope you and your child will have a lot of fun as you work together to
complete this workbook.
Enjoy!
