More than 1,000 literacy and activity kits will be available for some Saskatchewan students this summer, provided by their schools.
This is the second summer that eight school divisions will provide kits and programming for students, to help pique their interest and strengthen their skills in literacy over the summer. Frontier College is preparing about 1,055 of these kits, for students aged five to 12.

The literacy kits are being offered in place of in-person summer literacy camps, which the Ministry of Education has funded since 2014. School divisions work with teachers and families to determine which students might benefit from additional support over the summer.

The kits will contain books and activities to engage families in literacy-building activities. Some school divisions will customize kits to include additional items to encourage physical activity and reading in French or an Indigenous language, as well as T-shirts and snacks.

To support families with their literacy kits, most school divisions will also offer phone, virtual, or outdoor events and programs.
