If your child will be entering kindergarten in the fall and you’d like to give them a head start with beginning reading skills, this group will do just that! We will meet once weekly for 5 weeks over the summer. Phonemic awareness, phonics, sight words, reading, and writing will be addressed. We will utilize music, movement, and hands on experiences to keep learning fun and engaging. Weekly practice skills will be sent home as well as a weekly report on what skills are covered and your child’s progress. The group will meet on Tuesday mornings from 9:00-9:50 am. The group will be kept to 6 or fewer children allowing for more individualized instruction and support. The program will run for five weeks beginning on July 11th and ending on August 8th.

Rising First Grader Summer Splash!
This program is suitable for those entering first grade in the fall. We will follow a similar routine to the rising kindergarten group yet move at a faster pace and reach skills of greater difficulty. We will cover phonemic awareness, phonics, sight words, reading, and writing. Children will review all letter sounds with a focus on short vowel sounds, as we work to blend and segment cvc words. Over the five week program, we will cover the first 50 sight words. Students will have the opportunity to play games, be engaged in music and movement, and listen to a read aloud each session. Weekly practice skills will be sent home as well as a weekly report on what skills are covered and your child’s progress. This group will meet on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10:00-11:00am.
