Summer is an educational, fun time of adventure with the annual KERA Summer Learning Challenge! This free program gives parents and caregivers a structured-but-flexible blueprint for keeping kids curious and engaged throughout the summer months. The program is geared for children ages 2 to 8 and features PBS characters, activities and events. The fun starts June 6 and runs through August 12. See more about the program, or get started now:
1. Parents or guardians register their child(ren).
2. Families download materials, which will appear on this page when the program begins in June. (No printer access? No worries. On the registration form, parents can request a packet of material mailed to them.)
3. Kids enjoy activities, events, and reading plans throughout the summer, focusing on science, technology, arts, and math — and adventure!
4. Parents turn in their children’s Summer Learning Challenge checklist at the end of the summer.
5. Then … kids receive a prize pack in the mail!
