Programs Offered Online Throughout the Summer
Help your child become a confident, enthusiastic reader this summer with Summer Reading Skills Programs, offered by the Institute of Reading Development in partnership with UWF Continuing Education.
Strengthen Skills, Build Confidence, Enjoy Reading
These programs teach key reading skills, from phonics and sight words for younger children to comprehension, reading speed, and textbook strategies for older kids, and everything in between.
Guided by a knowledgeable and supportive teacher, students in these programs experience success with reading again and again, developing their skills and building confidence in outstanding books at the right level of challenge for each age.
How the Programs Work
Your child will attend weekly classes online that build skills and provide great experiences with terrific books – books that are filled with interesting characters, exciting storylines, and engaging themes. Between classes, your child will practice reading and complete fun, interactive lessons that develop core skills and build confidence.
An Institute of Reading Development teacher will provide all the support and instruction your child needs to grow as a reader and student. Your child will get a jumpstart on the next school year and be ready to make it a big success!
