Why a Summer Literacy Kit?
◈ GBJCL recognizes the value of end of year closure by giving students gifts to take their experience with them and to remember their tutoring experience
◈ A kit provides activities to help students remember skills learned and to encourage continued growth as a reader

Review
◈ The kits are designed for year-end closure and to promote a love of reading beyond your tutoring sessions
◈ You don't have to do any or all the activities with your students, but you should still review before presenting them so you can explain the contents
◈ Use your personal literacy kit for the contents or for inspiration
