Our Summer Foundations in Literacy Academy is a 3-week reading and writing program for K–5 students designed to help children return to the classroom confident and prepared. Led by an experienced literacy specialist familiar with specific grade expectations, students work in small groups to review and reinforce grade-level ELA standards. Choose to attend any number of weeks, each offering targeted instruction without overwhelming summer schedules.

Students in Grades K–2 develop foundational literacy skills aligned to New York State ELA standards, including phonemic awareness, decoding and encoding, phoneme and syllable segmentation, spelling patterns, high-frequency words, reading fluency, and early writing. Writing instruction at these grades focuses on sentence formation, capitalization and punctuation, spelling through phonics, and expressing ideas through simple narratives and informational writing.

Students in Grades 3–5 build on these skills by strengthening reading comprehension, vocabulary development, grammar, and structured writing. Writing instruction emphasizes paragraph and multi-paragraph composition, opinion, narrative, and informational writing, use of text evidence, sentence variety, revising and editing, and clear organization. 

This targeted literacy instruction provides a strong foundation for NYS ELA state testing, helping students develop the reading, writing, and critical-thinking skills needed for academic success and standardized assessments.
