Weekly Summer Reading Program: An Ongoing Class for Third Grade Readers Led by a Certified Reading Specialist

Looking to beat the summer reading slide? According to an NWEA study, students on average lose 20% of their previous school year’s reading gains over the summer.

Do not let your child slide this summer! Have them join a Weekly Summer Reading Program: An Ongoing Class for Third Grade Readers. Led by a certified reading specialist, we’ll practice and further the third grade skills they learned this school year. This class could also support second graders who could use a jumpstart on third grade material. It could also be helpful for fourth graders as remediation.

Each class will cover four areas of literacy: Fluency, Phonics, Reading Comprehension and Grammar

Texts provided in class will be between Lexile levels 600-940 which can also be labeled levels M, N or O. Not sure of your child’s reading level? Check out my Reading Level Quick Assessment here: https://bit.ly/3LZjAbN
