Summer Intensive Reading bootcamp*
Here are Sunlight we understand Reading is an integral part of learning. Without a strong reading foundation students will likely struggle in subject areas. This will not only have a negative effect on their grades, it can also be detrimental to a child's self-esteem and love of learning. We are pleased to introduce a new summer intensive program for students entering grades 1st-6th, providing the support children need to strengthen their reading skills and boost their self-esteem implemented in a small group setting. Our instructors use the Orton-Gillingham method, which is a multisensory approach for elementary students with or at risk for word-level reading disabilities*.
Sammie's Summer Intensive Reading Boot Camp offers students the following features:
- Students will be instructed by a Level 1 Certified Orton-Gillinham Instructor.
- Systematic teaching of phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, and spelling to build word recognition and strategies to help students with literacy skills.
- Targeted fluency instruction to build reading rate and prosody.
- Comprehension instruction to include background knowledge, vocabulary and strategy use.
- Instructional activities tailored to individual students based on assessed needs.
- Small group instruction for groups of 5-6 students.
- Beginning and end diagnostic benchmark assessment performed to measure growth.
- Optional “wrap-around” program for students who wish to enjoy SCA's summer camp for part of their day.
*At least one of the following needs to be applicable for current SCA students:
1. The student is currently in pull-out intervention in the area of reading with minimal success, according to both the interventionist AND the teacher.
2. The student has a current ASP.
3. The student is reading and writing below grade-level expectations, according to the SCA teacher.
We would love to support your child this summer by strengthening their reading skills and improving their love of learning!
