Summer Program Description

Reading Maintenance: On the elementary level, the course is

designed to reinforce and refine the student’s reading skills.

Emphasis will be placed on comprehension, sequencing, oral

reading and word attack. In addition, time will be spent on skills

needed to enhance written expression (grammar, vocabulary, spelling). On the secondary level, time spent on reading skills will be determined by individual students needs. The course will incorporate literature and writing in order to develop and/or improve skills in both comprehension and written expression.

Mathematics: On both the elementary and secondary levels, a program of remediation or enrichment is determined by the student’s individual needs.
