Summer 2009
Students often lose ground in their academic subjects over the long weeks of summer, but for students with dyslexia, this is an even greater problem. Weaknesses in memory, processing speed, attention, and language development cause precious skills to erode more quickly.
Greengate School holds a summer camp each year for children from grades one through six. The four week long camp works to strengthen language, math, art, and study skills for children with reading differences. The reading tutorials are conducted by specialists trained in the instruction of children who struggle in reading, spelling and writing. Half and full-day programs are offered.
