Beat the summer slide and give your rising 2nd-grader a running start into the school year with Bridging the Gap reading classes this summer. In this class, students will review the most important building block skills from 1st grade and get advanced practice with the new skills they’ll encounter in the early months of 2nd grade this fall. Bridging the Gap to 2nd Grade Reading will emphasize independent reading and describing characters, settings, and events from stories, preparing students for using context clues to find meaning and comparing and contrasting different versions of stories in the school year to come.
