Reimagined to Meet Science of Reading Best Practices
The LitCamp you know and love has been updated to meet today’s classroom needs! With an emphasis on the Science of Reading best practices , the program combines knowledge-building literacy instruction, foundational skills development, and fluency practice in an engaging summer camp-themed curriculum.
Foundational Skills Instruction
Fluency Practice
Knowledge Building
Daily lessons include foundational skills instruction followed by the application of the skills in whole-group activities and games.
Campers build fluency through daily practice, including modeled and shared routines and Readers’ Theater.
Read-aloud books are explicitly aligned to core knowledge areas with topic-related text sets including decodables and short reads.
Designed to accelerate achievement, the program builds lifelong readers and writers through robust lessons and activities. Each LitCamp lesson centers on a Read-Aloud of an engaging and authentic text. After reading, students participate in a “Go Deep” discussion and write in response to the text, building knowledge and extending comprehension.
Each lesson offers clearly explained, scripted routines. Leaders guide campers through reading and exploration of a shared text, foundational-skill and fluency practice, writing about the reading, independent and/or paired reading of text sets, and opportunities to reflect on their learning.
