My boys are working on the Summer Challenge, and one of the ways they earn points is by doing extra schoolwork. PacMan has the Summer Bridge 4th-5th workbook and it is perfect for solid review. I may order Krash the K-1st edition if he completes what I already have for him, we’ll see! Currently Krash is hard at work using printables!
I have two main goals for him during our review time, handwriting practice and sight word review. Sure, there are other things we will review, but those are my two simple goals. Simple helps keep me focused and not get too overwhelmed.
I made him packets, based on the You Can Read units. Here is his Unit 1 Review Packet. On top, I put the box handwriting practice…
Under that, I added an extra printable set I am creating. If you use YCR, you are familiar with the “Find the Words in the Sentence” printable, it looks like this:
I took those same sentences and made a handwriting practice sheet for each sentence, the first worksheet is shown below…
This style helps with so many objectives; including handwriting, sight words, reading, sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, comprehension and more.
I am in the process of creating sentence practice worksheets for all 18 units of You Can Read. The bundled set will be added into the You Can Read Bundle.
For now, I am offering what I have for FREE, if any of you want to try them out as some extra summer work for your rising first grader! I have completed the first 4 units and put them together with the box handwriting printables {also a YCR extra} for a free Summer Sight Word Work packet!

More Summer Work…
We are also using another freebie for our summer work, The Handwriting Book from Growing Kinders.
I LOVE these pages, for so many reasons, they touch on so many skills. 
Finally, I have a notebook I put together for him, using some free samples from Creative Teaching Press. I just browsed through their workbooks and printed a few that are at his review level. 
Motivation
Krash is motivated to do work like this in the summer thanks to our Summer Challenge. Recently he got his first prize, a Beyblade! Here he was moments before he earned it, working hard!
