Elementary Summer School: Summer Reading Connection
Duneland School Corporation’s 2016 summer school program, The Summer Reading Connection (SRC), is an engaging literacy program designed to meet the needs of students of all reading levels. SRC is an incentive program designed to motivate students who want to read more and get better at reading. The program includes a class for struggling readers and those third-grade students who were not successful on the IREAD-3 State Assessment.
Classes will focus on the five essential components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The comprehension strategies utilize prediction, context clues, questioning, main idea, and summarizing, as well as developing the answering skill of QAR (question/answer/relationship). Classes may include interdisciplinary literature activities, independent and cooperative projects, and written responses to literature materials to supplement the program. Use of technology as a reading tool will also be incorporated.
All activities comply with Indiana Academic Standards. Good literature will be the springboard for many reading and educational activities.
Who is eligible to attend? Students who are currently enrolled in 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade are invited to attend.
Where will it take place? Bailly Elementary School is excited to once again host the Summer Reading Connection.
What are the dates and times? The 13-day session will begin on Monday, June 6 and end on Thursday, June 23, 2016. No school on Friday, June 17. Each school day will begin at 7:45 a.m. and end at 12:20 p.m.
Breakfast & Busses? Breakfast will be available at the school from 7:15-7:45 a.m. Limited bus service will be provided.
Enrollment/Fees: The Elementary Summer School program is for students currently in grades 1-3. All students should enroll in the grade which they attended during the 2015-16 school year.
