Let’s Walk! LitCamp Lesson Steps During LitCamp lessons, campers read great books—and a lot of them. They also write, talk, listen, share, and play! LitCamp’s structured routine ensures that campers can set and meet expectations. From Opening Campfire to Closing Campfire, each lesson features whole- and small-group activities, time for independent reading and writing, and plenty of opportunities for lively collaboration and play. Here’s a look at the LitCamp lesson routine, with a description of what happens at each step. Invite your LitCamper to tell you about his or her favorite activities!

Opening Campfire Campers gather to greet one another, get settled, sing an opening song, and join in a community-building activity.
Words of the Day New vocabulary words are introduced at the beginning of each lesson. Campers are encouraged to use them in their speaking and writing.
Bring the Text to Life Campers work together to creatively demonstrate their understanding of the read- aloud book.
Read-Aloud The core of each lesson is the Read-Aloud. As the leader reads aloud, campers follow along with their own copy of the book.
Reading Power Campers practice and strengthen their literacy skills.
