Reading & Writing Summer Support

Build vocabulary, improve reading skills, and lift up writing skills

Package Price: $1500 (all-inclusive)

This is an 8-session program that takes place over the course of 10 weeks in the summer with a schedule customized to fit your travel and vacation plans.

Ms. Martha works one : one with your student to help them develop key vocabulary, reading, and writing skills through a summer book project. Students select from a list of options that appeal to diverse readers (even self-proclaimed "non-readers"). Each session includes direct instruction, critical analysis, vocabulary strategies, prompts for student responses and connections to academic work in school. Students also develop organizational skills by initiating an arts integrated project of their choice (menu of options provided just in case) and presenting it at the end of the summer.

It doesn't have to be this way. To help maximize your student's success during freshman year, we offer Level Up: Launch! This is an 8 session program where your rising college freshman receives individualized coaching in the areas that most commonly lead to frustration or failure during the first year after high school graduation:
