HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) Secretary Dr. Khalid N. Mumin and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn announced the third annual Pennsylvania Summer Learning and Literacy Road Trip, which provides virtual early learning and literacy activities for kids that inspire kids to read and learn more about the great outdoors.
The Summer Learning and Literacy Road Trip is an eight-week virtual road trip throughout Pennsylvania, geared towards families with young children up to kindergarten age – but easily adaptable for older kids. Resources include the Road Trip Map and the Road Trip Travel Journal and highlight the Pennsylvania State Parks and Libraries with book recommendations from librarians and family friendly activities. Activities can be done anywhere – so every family can take part, no matter where they live.
Road Trip resources, in both English and Spanish, can be found on the PA Promise for Children website.
This year’s Road Trip theme represents elements from the 2024 Pennsylvania One Book selection, Slug in Love by Rachel Bright. Look through the travel journal and map to find friends from the book who tag along on the Road Trip.
