Prevent the "summer slide" and keep young minds active with Crabtree's Summer Backpacks. Each Gold Level backpack includes 7 items: Welcome Letter, One decodable book, One "I Read You Read" book, One leveled fiction book, One nonfiction book, and One high interest book in a drawstring backpack. The Welcome Letter introduces the parent and the child to the contents of the backpack and provides ways to use the books over the summer. The "I Read You Read" book is for shared reading with a parent or older sibling and is a fun and interactive way to enjoy a story. Students will go on an exciting adventure in the leveled fiction book. The nonfiction book will have students learning new facts and building background knowledge. The high interest book engages students to continue their reading with an entertaining topic. With the cloth, drawstring backpack, the summer reading journey can be taken anywhere.
