Design a Summer Reading Camp

Strong summer programming can narrow the achievement gap in reading. To be effective, summer programs must include rigorous instruction that aligns to the science of reading, teachers who are literacy experts and engaging activities for students that keep them interested every day. However, too often, even the best programs are unable to yield their intended results because of a lack of attendance throughout the program. Therefore, districts must bolster their enrollment and recruitment efforts to increase student attendance.
