Islander Rec Camp 2024

Second-Third Graders

The Reading Camp aims to improve the reading and writing abilities of 2nd and 3rd grade students. Individualized programs are created for each child based on diagnostic testing of their reading skills. Small groups of students work with university tutors for 60 minutes, Monday through Thursday during the summer session. The tutors receive professional training in reading instruction methods like phonological awareness, phonics, and reading comprehension. The goal of the camp is to provide focused, individualized reading and writing instruction to help students enhance their literacy skills. Students are grouped based on skill level and work closely with the tutors over the course of the program. The camp utilizes the expertise of university students to provide research-based and engaging instruction tailored to each child's needs.
