WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS ABOUT LEARNING BAGS
Twenty-first century learners are required to think critically about the world, collaborate and communicate with their peers, and solve complex problems, all while building literacy skills that will allow them to succeed inside and outside the classroom. Yet, they are constantly distracted by the overload of stimuli in their environments. With so many competing interests and so much to do all the time, how can we motivate our students to learn at home, especially during the summer, and engage them in meaningful but fun learning experiences?
The answer can be found with Catapult Learning’s Reading and Activity Bags, which can contribute significantly to students’ motivation and literacy skills. Each of our Learning Bags has been intentionally curated to promote effective at-home literacy support with engaging, creative, and interactive texts and resources. With every page and every activity, students are provided an opportunity to stretch their reading abilities and experience the pleasure of fluent reading, as well as engage in hands-on exploratory learning connected to the real world. While the Reading Bags reflect a wide range of reading levels and interests, and support students in improving their literacy skills, the Activity Bags support inquiry-based learning and help students learn by doing. Our Learning Bags also help families better understand what their children are learning in school and how they can support those approaches, thereby enhancing the relationship between the family and school.
Catapult Learning’s Reading and Activity Bags also offer these added benefits:
• Establish a regular family reading routine and help families set aside a few minutes of learning each day, whether after school or during the summer
• Allow all families, regardless of their culture, education level, or English language proficiency, to feel that they are directly involved in their child’s learning
• Provide parents with a structure and model for reading and playing with their children
• Engage children, young and old, in interactive reading and learning that ignites their enthusiasm and sparks their curiosity
• Build an awareness of the breadth of books and activities that exist across content areas and grade bands
• Show parents how to help their children connect what they read in books and what they learn in class to what is happening in the world around them
• Stimulate discussions between children and their families
This year, our catalog features over 20 themes across content areas and grades K-12. We are confident that no matter who your students are, you will find a Reading or Activity Bag that meets their specific needs and motivates them to develop the habits of lifelong readers and learners.

Science & Math Exploration Activity BagYour child’s new Science & Math Exploration Bag includes a range of exciting science and math-based activities and materials aimed at developing their critical thinking skills, helping them recognize patterns and relationships, and teaching them to solve complex problems by manipulating objects. These bags encourage inquisitive and collaborative hands-on learning and will have them explore topics they already know and love while exposing them to new content areas.
Make Time for Learning Every Day! Research shows that there is no substitute for activities that require children to use their hands as well as their minds - the best way to engage a child’s brain is to have them move their hands. Children, even those who struggle with concentration and motivation, are more engaged and focused when they’re working on hands-on projects. As students explore new ideas, put projects together, use familiar materials in new ways, or play with their peers or family, they learn through all their senses and create meaning for themselves. With that in mind, we’ve selected resources that your family can enjoy and learn from together as your child(ren) builds literacy and numeracy skills, develop critical thinking skills, and builds the habits of mind that help them understand the world around them and succeed in the 21st century!ACTIVITY BAGS

Science & Math Exploration Activity BagYour child’s new Science & Math Exploration Bag includes a range of exciting science and math-based activities and materials aimed at developing their critical thinking skills, helping them recognize patterns and relationships, and teaching them to solve complex problems by manipulating objects. These bags encourage inquisitive and collaborative hands-on learning and will have them explore topics they already know and love while exposing them to new content areas.
Make Time for Learning Every Day! Research shows that there is no substitute for activities that require children to use their hands as well as their minds - the best way to engage a child’s brain is to have them move their hands. Children, even those who struggle with concentration and motivation, are more engaged and focused when they’re working on hands-on projects. As students explore new ideas, put projects together, use familiar materials in new ways, or play with their peers or family, they learn through all their senses and create meaning for themselves. With that in mind, we’ve selected resources that your family can enjoy and learn from together as your child(ren) builds literacy and numeracy skills, develop critical thinking skills, and builds the habits of mind that help them understand the world around them and succeed in the 21st century!
Each bag includes a Bonus Pack with a Family Tip Sheet and Student Journal(s).
Please Note: Items in individual bags are subject to availability. Substitutions may apply at Catapult Learning’s discretion. Prices exclude 10% shipping fee.
