Reading Skills Continue to Flourish in

Summer Literacy Program

This year's Summer Literacy Academy has wrapped up, and we’ve been thrilled to see the progress students have made in their reading skills during the four week long program. Some of the best feedback we receive comes from parents who witness the growth in their children, such as S.’s mom who said, “He has fun, is really thriving in the smaller class size, seems a lot more fluent in his reading and is actually enjoying reading.” Her advice to parents considering enrolling their student in Summer Literacy: "Just do it."
