“Most educators and parents agree that summer reading is beneficial and can make the difference between a child reading at grade level or falling behind over the summer break. However, without defining an engaging and regular summer reading plan, children can easily lose this unique opportunity to enhance and grow stronger reading skills.
A number of researchers are finding that kids who actively participate in highly interactive, language-rich summer reading programs are better prepared for the fall and don’t have to relearn skills from the spring.” - Steve Floyd, August House
Are you are passionate about reading, education and enrichment? If so, we know you will enjoy our Reading Buddy Summer Program!
Reading Buddies read one-on-one with children. On most days you will spend 30 minutes each with four different children. We try to pair you with the same children each day you are at camp.
We are in search of our summer 2023 Ready Buddies.
