Is your child heading into 2nd grade and ready to level up their reading skills? This summer course is designed to bridge exactly that gap — taking students from sounding out words to truly understanding stories. Using engaging fiction like The Three Little Pigs, students will learn to identify characters, settings, and plot events, compare different versions of the same story, and crack the meaning of unfamiliar words using context clues. By the end of the course, young readers will have the comprehension strategies and vocabulary confidence they need to hit the ground running in 2nd grade.
