The Book Camps 4 Kids program was founded on the philosophy that learning should be FUN. Motivation is one of the biggest components of life-long learning and it is often the most difficult thing to inspire. At Book Camps 4 Kids, we use current, popular books with fun themes to inspire students. We then "sneak" fundamental reading practice into their daily routines at each camp. Listed below are the specific components each camper will be exposed to EACH day at camp:
1. Independent Reading
2. Partner Reading
3. Fluency Practice
4. Non-Fiction Response to Reading (this promotes comprehension)
5. Comprehension Skills (compare/contrast, main idea/detail, descriptions)
6. Retell
7. Connections to real world, self and other texts
Each one of these components is a research based reading skill necessary for students to become successful, independent readers. The best part for teachers and parents? The kids are having so much fun at camp that they don't even realize they're really becomming better readers in the process! ;)

The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it.
