The PebbleGo Summer Reading Road Trip is a free, self-guided program designed to prevent the dreaded Summer Slide and keep kids learning, curious, and engaged during summer break.
Each week, students will:
- Visit a new national park
- Explore related PebbleGo articles & eBooks
- Complete fun activities and worksheets
- Earn badges for finishing challenges
It’s the perfect mix of learning + adventure, helping students build knowledge while having fun.
How it works?
Have parents register their kids to receive everything they need to get started at https://pebblego.com/summer-reading-road-trip.
Kids read or listen to PebbleGo articles and Capstone eBooks, then complete weekly activities and challenges to reinforce learning.
As kids make their way across our national park system, they’ll earn digital badges to celebrate their progress.
