This summer, Minnewashta instructors will offer online summer reading classes for intervention students entering first through fifth grade. Minnewashta Online Summer Reading classes are designed to continue support for students entering first through fifth grade who already receive reading intervention. In addition they may be recommended as a beneficial by a classroom teacher. This two-week focused reading intervention will provide small group reading instruction targeted at building the specific skills and strategies your child needs in English Fundations Gr. 1-3, English Comprehension Gr. 4-5, or Spanish reading skills gr. to continue to grow as a reader. This will allow your child to maintain learning from this school year and continue momentum over the summer. Classes will be offered four times a week by trained reading teachers and instructors for 50 minutes. Groups will be four-five students or less per teacher. If your child received reading support during the school year in English or Spanish then he/ she is a good candidate for this online summer program. In addition, if your child is going into 3rd grade Spanish immersion and his/ her teacher has recommended a boost of English reading support prior to starting 3rd grade English instruction, this would be a good summer class placement.
