Summer Reading Camp 2012

Summer Reading Camp, Grades 1-6:

(looking for Pre-K or Kindergarten?  See Jump Start to Reading)

Help ensure your child doesn’t lose precious academic ground during the long weeks of summer. Studies show that all students experience about a month in learning loss during the summer, and for students with dyslexia, the losses may amount to as much as 3 months. Weaknesses in memory, processing speed, attention, and language development cause precious skills to erode more quickly. As a result, students have to spend more time reviewing at the beginning of each school year in order to catch up. Continuing instruction during the summer months can help greatly reduce learning loss.

Greengate School holds a summer camp each year for children in grades 1-6 (as of the fall 2012). The four week camp works to strengthen language, math, art, and study skills for children with reading difficulties. The reading tutorials are conducted by specialists trained in the instruction of children who struggle in reading, spelling and writing. Half-day and full-day programs are offered.  Details below.

The program is open to all children who are struggling in reading, spelling, writing and math. Children do not need any special testing or learning diagnosis to be eligible to attend the summer reading camp, but parents must submit information for review before acceptance. Registrants will be emailed an enrollment forms packet.
