Who: Members going into 1st grade 

When: Tuesdays at 5:00 PM 

First Class: June 9 

Length: 6 weeks

Our Summer Literacy Program includes Short the Squirrel activities and is designed to encourage members to continue building their reading skills throughout the summer. Literacy lessons will take place throughout the summer. During the first two weeks of the program, most members will be assessed using the STARR assessment to help determine reading levels and track growth. Members are encouraged to read both at the Club and at home and to keep up with their reading log (download below).  We will finish the program with an end-of-summer celebration to recognize and celebrate our top readers.
