Reading Recovery – June 10-June 13 Time: 10:30-12:00
Instructor: Cindy Tyree Grades: 2-4
This is for students who need reading support. Students will be given an informal reading inventory before the camp begins. Once we find out their fluencies, instructional levels, and frustration levels, we will give recommendations for advancement in reading/writing during the rest of the summer. All participants must have a library card. We would recommend more than one card. Families, led by parents, would need to sign a commitment to read alongside their children in this guided program and present their completed reading logs at the beginning of next fall term to receive completion grades. Matthew 4: 4
We will incorporate short Bible devotions designed especially for kids, readers' theatre, and two-person poem readings, along with our guided practices. All activities and practices are designed to encourage motivation to read.
Activities designed to reinforce the targeted reading experiences will include badminton, cornhole, beach ball games, scavenger hunts, and the ultimate in water games (The water games must be earned and will occur on the last day!).
Our aim of Christian education would be supported by this initiative to pray and work with our precious students in learning to read well!
Focus on the Family has a great acrostic for incorporating reading and daily devotions. https://www.focusonthefamily.com/parenting/teaching-your-kids-to-read-the-bible/
