Welcome to Summer Book Club!

Whether your child is heading into Kindergarten, First Grade, or Second Grade, we’ll be building foundational reading skills while diving into exciting books, creative activities, and summer-inspired adventures.

Each week, we’ll meet for a small-group virtual class where your child will:

Read or listen to a fun themed book

Learn and apply a key literacy skill (like vowel
teams, spelling patterns, or story structure)

Participate in engaging discussions, games, and
interactive activities

Take home a simple follow-up activity to build
confidence and retention

Think of it as part book club, part literacy lab, with a summer twist!
