Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3

✅ Welcome! This is our daily reading class to help your studen|t stay on track during the summertime.


📚 This is a great way to keep your student on track with their reading during the summer months. It is proven that students drop reading levels during this time of year so this is a great way to keep them going in the summer for 25 minutes a day 5 days a week. This class is designed for Kindergartens going into 1st grade and 1st graders going into 2nd grade.
