CAMPAMENTO DE VERANO: Clase de ortografía para estudiantes de primaria superior y secundaria temprana

We begin each class with a quick lesson and possibly some fun Boom cards to help them see the rule.

After each lesson, students will put their new spelling skills into action! We'll practice spelling words that follow the day's rule, then reinforce learning with a sentence-building activity. Using high-frequency words, students will write sentences that incorporate spelling patterns from past lessons—helping them master commonly used words while strengthening their overall writing skills.

This class is designed with the Orton-Gillingham approach in mind, making it an excellent fit for older children who struggle with spelling. The structured lessons will help them build confidence and retention.

Every child will actively participate using their own whiteboard, getting hands-on practice and immediate feedback. 



Both Classes are on this schedule and will end in May. New Classes will be scheduled for the summer shortly.
