Jump Start to 7th Grade Reading

Grades 6-7

Beat the summer slide and give your rising 7th-grader a running start into the school year with Jump Start reading classes this summer. Over 6 weekly sessions, students will review key building block skills from 6th grade and get advanced practice with the new skills they’ll encounter in the early months of 7th grade this fall.

Jump Start to 7th Grade Reading will emphasize identifying and interpreting figurative language and allusions in context and evaluating arguments and claims within complex texts, preparing students for identifying the authors’ primary purpose and point of view and deconstructing words based on Greek and Latin roots in the school year to come.
