Dear Educator, Welcome to LitCamp! This innovative summer literacy program offers robust instruction in a collaborative learning environment to help students develop essential literacy and personal skills that will serve them throughout their lives. At LitCamp, you and your campers are members of a supportive educational community where everyone can be and feel successful! LitCamp’s engaging summer-camp theme, supported by the 7 Strengths framework, lifts the level of teaching and learning to propel students forward with a spirit of possibility and positivity. In this welcoming and affirming environment, students will experience academic and personal growth and thrive as readers, writers, learners, and citizens. With roots firmly planted in the Science of Reading, LitCamp content and instruction reflect the most current reading research and translate it into everyday classroom practice. All lessons build on the five pillars of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Campers will build and extend their knowledge and become confident and competent readers, writers, and communicators. Your success as an educator is central to the success of the program. To ensure that your experience is rewarding, this guide provides everything you need to lead with confidence. We wish you a happy and fulfilling summer as you accelerate learning and empower your campers with the essential literacy skills they need for grade- level success and beyond.
