Beat the summer slide and give your rising 6th-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 5th grade and get advanced practice with the new skills they’ll encounter in the early months of 6th grade this fall. Bridging the Gap to 6th Grade Reading will emphasize comparing and contrasting multiple texts and understanding the meaning of vocabulary in context, preparing students for interpreting figures of speech and allusions in context and evaluating the arguments and claims within complex texts in the school year to come.
