Our Traditional Summer Program
****Get Caught Up By the Start of the New School Year****
Our Summer Program is really an extension of our year-round program, with even more flexibility.
-
Schedule an introductory call with Daniela.
-
Do the screeners.
-
Choose the days and times that work with your schedule, before or after camps or summer school. Weekends optional.
-
Skip the weeks you're out of town. Or not! It's virtual, so your child can do lessons from anywhere.
Sound Work: Our Summer Workshop for Pre-Readers
****Preventing Reading Struggles: Students will learn how our reading/writing system works, so that they can benefit from the phonics instruction they'll get in school next year.****
Sound Work: A Workshop to Prepare Future Readers is focused on preventing reading problems.
-
1-on-1 over Zoom for 15 minutes per day, Monday - Friday.
-
Focus on phonological skills - understanding how our reading/writing system works - with the Kilpatrick One Minute Exercises ("Word Games"). See the video below.
-
Designed for students entering pre-k and kindergarten who are "at risk" for dyslexia and dysgraphia, i.e. kids who
-
have family history of dyslexia or dysgraphia
-
are in speech therapy, or
-
are showing other early signs of being at risk for dyslexia and dysgraphia.
-
A parent (or other adult) must be in the room with the child during the sessions.
-
Note: This workshop meets for 15 minutes/day and focuses on phonological skills, so students will only do limited early phonics work - if your child already knows most of the consonants and you're looking for a more complete program that includes significant phonics instruction, let's discuss whether our traditional summer program with 30 minute sessions might be a better fit for your child.
