For summer 2021, we are pleased to announce a partnership with Wheeler Summer camp in Seekonk, MA (just minutes away from Providence, RI). We will be offering in-person Reading and Math classes, in conjunction with attending camp for students who will be entering grades 1-4 in the fall, as well as a special Book Club for middle schoolers attending camp. In addition, we will be offering in-person Orton-Gillingham tutorials on-site for campers.
Groups are kept deliberately small and in stable pods, so limited slots will be available.
For those entering 5th and 6th grade in the fall, who are not interested or able to attend Wheeler Summer camp, we are offering a truly fantastic Online Book Club with a creative, engaging teacher.
We also continue to offer one-to-one online tutorials for all ages and subjects with our expert RITES specialists.
