Bring summer reading to life with this engaging set of 5 connected Summer School Stories reading passages and comprehension activities! This unique reading comprehension bundle follows the same group of students and their teacher through funny, relatable summer school adventures across Days 1–5 of the series.
 
While each story works perfectly as a stand alone reading passage, the stories are also connected like chapters in a book. Students begin to recognize the characters, remember past events, and build stronger reading engagement as they continue through the series. This chapter style format helps encourage deeper comprehension, improves reading confidence, and motivates students to keep reading to see what happens next.
 
Students love becoming familiar with recurring characters and classroom situations, making these passages feel more meaningful and memorable than isolated reading worksheets.
 
Each story includes:
☐ A high interest summer themed reading passage
☐ Multiple choice comprehension questions
☐ Vocabulary question
☐ Short answer response question
☐ Easy to print black and white pages
 
Perfect for:
☐ Summer school programs
☐ Summer reading packets
