English Crash Course for Incoming 3rd - 6th grade students

Incoming 3rd and 4th graders will experience a fun and engaging introduction or continuation of formal English instruction.  We will focus on the beginning foundations of English phonics as well as practicing strategies to help with reading comprehension.  This will help prepare them to start off the school year with confidence and a foundation to build on during English Literacy.  We will play games, read poetry, and perform reader’s theater all while targeting these skills.  We will also work on writing through creative and fun prompts.  Your child will also go home with some specific strategies to continue working on over the summer.

Incoming 5th and 6th graders will focus on refining writing and research skills to get prepared for middle school.  We will also work on literature circles to work on discussing our reading and supporting our ideas with evidence.
