How Our Reading Program Works

Our 6-week reading program goes beyond a typical class. Each week, your child will join an expert-led, 1-hour class that's just the beginning of the journey.

Between classes, structured activities, interactive lessons, and guided reading in exceptional books provide almost daily skills practice. This comprehensive approach turns summer into a lively learning experience, culminating in great experiences with great books.
