NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Scholastic Corporation (NASDAQ: SCHL), the global children's publishing, education and media company, today announced its expanded investment in summer learning, advancing its commitment to providing students, educators and families with year-round learning that not only closes the gap but propels student achievement. Scholastic has acquired rights to LitCamp, a foundational reading skills program for summer and extended learning created by Scholastic professional author and advisor Pam Allyn, from LitLife, Inc. Scholastic also acquired rights to MathCamp, a new companion program to LitCamp, from Dewey Inc. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

A blend of print and digital resources, the Scholastic summer learning portfolio includes Scholar Zone Summer, My Books Summer, Grab and Go Take-Home Book Packs and Summer Express. LitCamp and MathCamp complement these offerings and lay the foundation for evidence-based teaching and learning that is engaging, inclusive and impactful.
"During the summer months, Scholastic provides educators and families with the support they need to keep students engaged in learning, starting with access to books and the instructional resources needed to sharpen reading and math skills and build student confidence," said Dr. Amanda Alexander, Chief Academic Officer, Scholastic Education Solutions. "Understanding that no two schools are alike, the Scholastic summer learning portfolio provides the flexibility to create a well-balanced solution for summer learning to meet students' needs."
Scholastic summer solutions also help families build and expand home libraries that engage students and enrich learning. As the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report(TM) shows, 41% of children get most of their books from school, making additional access to books during the summer months critical. Scholastic summer learning solutions combine high quality, high-interest books with vibrant, grade-level instruction to accelerate learning and spur student success in the classroom and into the future.
