Literacy Camps - Mrs. Lori Wainscott (For students entering grades 3-5) Paws With a Book- June (9am-12pm) Digging Up Bones- Dinosaur Days- June (9am-12pm) Sleuth the Truth- July 8-12 (9am-12pm) Finish Strong- July (9am-12pm) Kids who don t have educationally rich summers will be nearly three years behind their peers by the time they reach the end of the fifth grade Much like we would expect an athlete or a musician s performance to suffer if they didn t practice regularly, the same thing is true for young people when it comes to reading performance. -Ron Fairchild, Founding CEO, National Summer Learning Association TFCA Sonsational Summer 2013 Enrichment Camps 1

2 The research is clear that children who don t read during the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, longterm effect. Consequently, TFCA is offering four Literacy Camps this summer. Each camp will have a unique theme and exciting reading, writing, and speaking opportunities that will engage children and will educationally enrich their summer. Paws With a Book- Campers will be introduced to a variety of animals and animal careers through literature. A veterinarian, dog trainer, and others will join us as we learn about animals. Campers will have the opportunity to interact with therapy dogs as well. Literature will be used to expand the camper s knowledge of careers in the pet field while engaging their minds with good books. Digging Up Bones- Dinosaur Days- Campers will be transported to the days when the dinosaurs roamed the earth as we read about archeology and the job of a paleontologist. Campers will read informational texts, including the Bible, and fictional literature. Camp will culminate with an archeological dig at TFCA. Sleuth the Truth- Campers will delve into books such as Encyclopedia Brown and The Hardy Boys Mysteries as the world of CSI is investigated through literary eyes. Campers will use inferencing to help solve mysteries as we read The 39 Clues together. Special visitors are planned for this week as well. Finish Strong- Campers will look at athletes and their journey to success. Informational and fictional text will be compared. Campers will be exposed to character traits such as hard work and perseverance and how they affect performance.
