This is a passive program that will run from June through the beginning of school.
The purpose of this program is to fill the learning gap from the end of school until the beginning of school. It is to help reluctant or struggling readers ranging from grades K-4th read with more confidence. Other activities such as word games, writing exercises, and BINGO are used as well.
