Both the book enthusiast and the emerging reader will enjoy and benefit from this camp. Our days are filled with fun, age appropriate reading and writing activities. Through small group and individualized reading, Reader’s Theater, author studies and theme studies, the children are immersed in rich experiences that will strengthen and enrich their reading and writing skills. Our teachers meet each child at his/her instructional level. Our staff is dedicated to providing each child with an experience that is stimulating and full of varied experiences.
The children will enjoy a variety of activities, including reading and writing workshops, visits to the library and computer lab, art projects and a visit by a local author. The children will spend time on the writing process as well as factual writing from individual research. A writing celebration is held on the last day of camp where the children present their own “published” original stories. Your child will participate in meaningful discussions and guided reading through leveled readers and novel studies.
