Summer Reading Programs 2012 - Intensive | Twice Weekly | Individual Tutorials

We offer a range of reading programs to suit the different needs of our summer students. Please note the location of the course you are interested in, as we have a couple of different venues for our programs: courses are site-specific.

Our daily five-week course is an intensive program designed to introduce the multisensory, systematic Orton-Gillingham approach to students who have a diagnosed language-based learning difference.

Our daily three-week course is an intensive program for students requiring the stronger word attack, comprehension and writing skills expected of later elementary students and emerging middle schoolers.

Our twice-weekly reading classes are designed to strengthen skills over the summer months and boost emerging reading skills.

Our individual tutorial sessions are designed to improve skills while fitting into busy summer schedules.

Do you have a reluctant reader? How do you inspire your child to read more during the summer months?

This program is designed with the answers to these questions in mind. We strive to engage students who need to strengthen and continue practicing their reading skills. Reading materials focus on fiction and nonfiction, and students respond to these texts through discussions and writing. Classes are kept deliberately small (teacher/student ratio is 1:4) to ensure individualized attention.
