Rocking & Reading Camp is a high-energy literacy program that turns learning to read into a full-body, music-filled adventure. Designed for early readers, this camp uses rhythm, movement, rap, and collaborative storytelling to build the phonics and phonemic awareness skills that make reading click. Students will blend and segment sounds, decode new words, recognize high-frequency sight words, and co-create an original story song — all while building real confidence on the page. If your child has ever tapped their foot to a beat, they're already halfway to becoming a reader.
