This intensive course is designed for students struggling with decoding and/or comprehension. The program includes a blend of whole group, small group, and individual instruction using manipulatives, memory strategies and language-based instruction to reinforce concepts. Faculty use a combination of Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell, and NILD-based reading strategies to address individual learning needs. Students have fun as they learn with groupings based on ability level. Afternoons feature recreational activities and a variety of arts and crafts to support a well-rounded camp experience. Progress reports are provided after week 3, and parents have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with faculty at the end of the program to review test results, progress made, and recommendations for next school year.
