Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 5
Improve reading comprehension skills while learning test taking strategies and gain confidence on standardized reading tests.  This summer camp will prepare your child for standardized reading tests by learning test taking tips, while focusing on a Common Core Reading Comprehension skill each class. Students will learn and strengthen reading comprehension skills by using them in authentic ways, and then integrating those comprehension and test taking skills together, so students not only become better test takers, but better life long readers.  

We will use a variety of materials in weekly classes, such as high interest reading passages, visuals, or short films to apply the reading skill of the week.  The format of the class will vary based on the skill for that week.  Later in the course we will apply the comprehension strategies learned while completing practice reading test passages.  At the end of each day's class we will practice the skill we learned that day with a fun game of Blooket or Gimkit to solidify skills in an engaging way.

*Note: Classes do not build upon the prior class each week; students may join class at any time.*

Each weekly class will be structured as follows:
Introductions/Ice Breaker
Mini-lesson of skill 
Modeling of skill as we practice applying the skill of the day with a variety of media (short film, commercial, picture, short story)
Guided and Independent Practice of skill while reading the text of the day
Blooket or Gimkit game to review skill to end the class
