Summer is here — and at Elite Scholar Academy, the learning doesn’t stop when the school doors close. This year, we’re launching our summer program: the Summer Book Blitz! Designed for students from Preschool through 8th Grade, this program blends reading, creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on fun to keep young minds engaged all season long.
Whether your child is a budding bookworm or a reluctant reader, our Summer Book Blitz has something exciting in store. Here’s everything families need to know — plus a look at how this program connects to the complete Elite Scholar Academy experience.
To keep year round learning going, we are also proud to offer free materials that are available on our Downloads page.
What Is the Summer Book Blitz?
The Summer Book Blitz is Elite Scholar Academy’s all-in-one summer learning experience. Students dive into curated reading lists, tackle grade-appropriate worksheets, express themselves through art, and even step into the kitchen with simple, kid-friendly recipes. It’s education disguised as adventure.

How the Summer Book Blitz Connects to Our Full Program
The Summer Book Blitz isn’t just a standalone activity — it’s a bridge to our year-round curriculum. Students who participate, enter the fall semester with stronger skills, sharper focus, and a love of learning that carries into every subject. Combined with our Homework Help and PreK–8 curriculum, your child receives continuous support from August through July.
Why Summer Learning Matters…Summer Slide
Research shows that students can lose up to two months of grade-level equivalency in math and reading skills over the summer. At Elite Scholar Academy, we believe summer should be a time of exploration — not regression. The Summer Book Blitz keeps skills sharp while giving children the freedom to learn at their own pace, in their own fun way!
The free worksheet downloads are there to support students too!
