We are excited to offer summer reading groups again this year! Groups will be on Wednesdays for 4 weeks, July 15 - August 5. Times will be determined once we know the children who will be attending and what their reading levels are. Classes are anticipated to run between 9 and 2:30. Please complete the following form if interested in participating: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfB2I7kUq1uz4bpAYMGscaZ1bBx9dO4BN95uG39bzmrixFbYw/viewform?usp=header.

We will group children by reading level and then will send you the registration link. The 4-week session is $125 and each group will be 1.5 hours per week. Groups will be kept to a maximum of 6 children. Parents stay on premises for Reading Explorers and Story Sprouts.

Class descriptions:
Reading Explorers
Our Reading Explorers summer program is just the beginning! Designed to spark
excitement and introduce essential reading skills, this program gives students a chance to explore the building blocks of literacy through fun, hands-on activities and engaging weekly themes. Through playful learning and structured activities, your child will strengthen foundational skills while building confidence and a love for reading.

Story Sprouts
Story Sprouts is designed for blossoming readers who are building fluency and growing their confidence with early reading skills. This group is ideal for children who are learning to decode unfamiliar words using letter-sound knowledge, spelling patterns, and helpful picture or context clues. Children will also strengthen their comprehension skills—retelling stories, identifying main ideas, and understanding the sequence of events.

Literacy Launchers
Literacy Launchers is an exciting group designed for children who are ready to launch themselves into the atmosphere of reading! Perfect for confident readers who are eager to explore stories more deeply, this group helps children develop the tools they need to truly understand and enjoy what they read. Together, we’ll explore a variety of genres and learn to read with different purposes—whether it’s for fun, learning something new, or following directions. We’ll even dig into vocabulary by exploring how words work–giving students strategies that they can use in all of their learning! Through discussion, games, and hands-on activities, Literacy Launchers helps readers blast off into richer, more thoughtful reading.

We are sad to say goodbye to Ms. Briana today as she finishes up her clinical placement with us. Briana is currently a graduate student, pursuing her master's as a speech and language pathologist.

Brightening up our snowy day today with some fresh squeezed lemonade. Some of our friends are working on saying words with the /l/ sound. This was a meaningful way to incorporate their sound into therapy. They can now go home to tell their family all about making lemonade! 🍋

We're excited to have the room to do some baking! We worked on writing and reading skills today within the functional daily living activity of baking. We wrote the recipe, read it and followed the instructions to make some delicious chocolate chip cookies. The office smells wonderful!

Briana, our student clinician, was here to help with the baking.
