Camp JumpStart is open to children ages 3-5 years old, promotes literacy and oral language skills, alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness, emergent writing, and print concepts. Children will participate in daily, 30-minute live sessions via Zoom. Resources for activities will be provided.
Reader's Theatre is open to children age 6 and older, and focuses on developing reading fluency through a combination of reading practice and performance. In daily sessions from 12:30-1:30 p.m., students will create their own skit by reading scripts developed from books and stories. Skits will be practiced and recorded during an afternoon session from 3:30-4 p.m. Recorded skits will be shared in a private YouTube link for students and families to view together. Reading assignments will be individually tailored for each student.
The cost for Camp JumpStart and Reader’s Theatre is $25 each. A laptop or device with a camera/microphone and access to reliable internet will be needed for both camps.
