📚 Reading Ranch Summer Enrichment Program: A Head Start for a Stronger School Year
By mid-August, our students don’t just walk into class — they stride in prepared, excited, and ahead of the game. There’s no guesswork, no last-minute catch-up — just real learning, real growth, and real results. While sunshine and popsicles are summer staples, it’s also the perfect season to spark a lifelong love of reading. At Reading Ranch, your child will enjoy a joyful, focused learning experience where every session is a step forward in their literacy journey.
As students in PreK–6th grade celebrate the sunny days off from school, their reading and writing progress doesn’t have to take a break! Summer is sweeter when little learners can swap screens for stories, build confidence with every chapter, and get a head start on their upcoming grade-level skills. Our Summer Enrichment Program is intentionally designed to “squish” key content from the next school year into fun, engaging summer sessions, giving students a powerful academic boost before school starts in late August. At Reading Ranch, we believe that summer is the perfect time to build momentum. Each session prepares students for the exact reading, writing, grammar, comprehension, and vocabulary concepts they’ll be learning in the fall. This helps students enter their new grade levels not only confident — but already familia r with the material they’re about to master. Instead of starting from scratch, they begin with a strong foundation that sets them apart from day one. Our interactive, screen-free program blends hands-on learning, guided reading, and face-to-face teaching, all in a supportive environment free from digital distractions. Here, children can focus, flourish, and even build lasting friendships. With our award-winning literacy program, your child won’t just keep up — they’ll leap ahead, avoiding the dreaded “summer slide” that can lead to a loss of up to three years of reading progress by the end of fifth grade.

B is for Breakthrough Spelling Tips That Stick
Is your child struggling with spelling, mixing up letters, or dreading weekly word tests? Spelling is one of the building blocks for reading and writing, and many little learners have difficulty properly putting letters together. The good news is that with the right support and a lot of practice, your child can master this skill and deepen their love of words! We’re sharing some tips to help you and your child get spelling down this summer! PLAYING WITH WORDS Practice is essential to help your child improve their spelling skills and gain more confidence in their abilities. You can use practice quizzes online or from your school to test what they know, focusing on reviewing the proper spelling of any words they get wrong. Visual aids like whiteboards or flashcards can keep spelling fun and engaging, and draw their attention to the correct placement of letters. Break words down into syllables to help them figure out how to sound them out and pick out specific letters. TALES THAT TEACH You can’t have a good book without spelling, and reading together is an excellent way to reinforce phonics patterns. Set aside time each week to
read together, whether that’s sitting side by side and pointing out each word as you speak it or having them read an age-appropriate book aloud to you. Encourage them to sound out words they might not know or spend extra time spelling out tricky words from the story. The more your child sees words, the better they will be at spelling, and the stronger their vocabulary will be! MORE THAN JUST TYPOS? Though many children struggle with spelling, your child may be showing signs of dyslexia, a disorder that affects reading and writing and makes spelling extra challenging. You can contact your school to see if your child is eligible for a dyslexia screening, an assessment that gets to the root cause of their spelling struggles. If your school does not offer the test or you face a long wait, the Reading Ranch offers diagnostic and assessment services. We can help turn word woes into spelling successes at the Reading Ranch!
