One of my favorite things about summer is how much less I need the kids to do. Less homework. Less getting up early. Less getting to bed on time. Less ‘time to come inside!’ The tradeoff that no one likes to talk about (or think about?) is the dreaded ‘summer slide:’ the dip in reading skills after months away. Last year, we introduced you the ReadBright’s Take-Home Backpacks…and so many of you introduced them to your kids! These backpacks feel more like snuggling up with a good book and less like homework…keeping us on our journey of less.
Each drawstring backpack is filled with:
- Adorable, decodable books that are skill-based but still engaging!
- A fun activity book that doesn’t feel like work
- A progress chart so your child can track their wins

There are four levels to choose from, designed to grow with your reader:
Whether your child is just starting out or building fluency, these backpacks have the stories they’ll actually want to read, while strengthening their phonics skills and comprehension. They’re perfect for summer, and they’ll pull them out during the school year too!
B O N U S: ReadBright doesn’t stop at English reading!

The summer slide affects kriah too, and none of us want to face September with a student who hasn’t practiced kriah at all. ReadBright’s Kriah products are just as engaging: you don’t need to be a morah to use these with your readers!
Their Alef Beis Multisensory Book is a tactile, visual way to introduce the letters — so helpful for younger learners. They’ll work on reading, tracing, shaping, and drawing. Pair it with the Alef Beis Hints Flashcards, which give adorable clues for each letter.
Is your child up to Nekudos? The Nekudos Book and matching Nekudos Workbook teach the nekudos rules clearly, moving through blending, shvah, and tricky kriah rules.
The Pyramid Classroom Reader – Book 1 helps your reader build fluency gradually, with clear visual support.

Whether it’s English reading or kriah, ReadBright gets what early readers need — and how to help them enjoy the process. Don’t forget to use discount code BCP10 for 10% off! Want to learn more? Reach out to read@readbright.com / (732) 569-0699.
