Summer Reading Program: Enrollment is open. Sign Up
A summer reading program can make the difference in your child’s future success. What if your child could make a 30% jump in their reading skills? What about 40 or 50%?
A parent just wrote to me regarding her son. In a matter of three weeks, he had a 600% increase in his fluency, from 18 words per minute to 108 words per minute. Summer break is upon us, the perfect time to help your children get a ‘leg up’ on their learning.
Scholar Within and Bonnie Terry’s Summer Reading Program can be perfect for readers of all levels, whether they are at, above, or below reading proficiency for their grade level. It not only incorporates the five tenets of reading, but it focuses on improving the processes of how people learn. When your areas of visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic perception are working as well as possible, it makes learning and reading easier for you.
This program also benefits those with dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities, or other reading struggles. It is specifically designed to help those that are either behind in reading, struggle with reading, or just want to boost their reading skills.
What Should a Summer Reading Program Include?
One of the most important things to look for in a summer reading program is that it has fun activities but also includes the five tenets of reading. The five tenets are the principles of reading instruction. If these principles are included, you will see progress in reading.
Our Summer Reading Program Include All Five Tenets of Reading:
- Phonemic Awareness
- Phonics
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension
What are each of these five tenets of reading?
- Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate the individual sounds – phonemes – in spoken words.
- Phonics is using the awareness of sounds and matching the sounds to the letter symbols.
- Fluency is the ability to retrieve words effortlessly.
- Vocabulary is the group of words you know and use effectively.
- Comprehension is the ability to understand, analyze, synthesize, and use what you have read.
Our Summer Reading Program Also Include:
- Spelling
- Executive Function Lessons
- Brain Balance Body Integration Lessons
- Video and Audio Lessons
- Weekly Calendar
Our program is a holistic approach to improving learning reading skills. By incorporating more than just the five tenets of reading, greater progress can be made.
What Parents Say About The Summer Reading Program for Struggling Readers
One component of the Summer Reading Program made a big difference for Brenda Prince. She says:
“I’ve been using the program with my ten-year-old special needs son who is reading below grade level and I can say that there has been a vast improvement as to his performance on each drill, both in his mastery of reading the words on the list as well as the number of words he reads each time. For example, his first attempt at Drill One which consists of Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words with the short a sound, he read eighteen words in the minute time frame but missed seven of those words. Over a period of three weeks, he was able to increase his speed to one hundred and eight words per minute and correctly pronouncing all of those words. When we moved on to subsequent drills, I noticed that he did much better, even on his first attempt at reading the word list.”
Janine Franks says:
“Thanks so much for the help you have given us. One of my sons was quite dyslexic in reading but after using your system, I rarely notice any sign of it. He actually enjoys reading now. He´s read Narnia on his own!”
