Summer Stream Program

The Bridge Academy offers a summer program during the month of July. The main focus is a comprehensive structured Remedial Reading program designed to increase student's individual skills.

The summer STREAM program is designed and based on our highly successful school curriculum. Well trained teachers work with a group of 2 students matched according to their age and reading ability. Students ranging in age from 7-13 years with reading levels between 1st and 4th grade are eligible for the program. Pre-testing of new students is done during the months of May and June to assist us in more effective individual planning.

Our experienced reading teachers provide each student with:

• Increased phonemic awareness practice
• Direct systematic structured phonics instruction
• Sight word mastery
• Strategy-based spelling instruction
• Daily oral reading to promote accuracy and fluency
• Cursive handwriting development
• Improved sentence and paragraph construction

Technology, environmental science and math activities supplement the reading and writing instruction. Each student studies environmental science through multi-sensory activities, labs and field work. Our teaching techniques foster learning, independence and mastery of skills. Under the supervision of an experienced teacher, students explore our stream and wooded grounds making science come alive!

Technology is highlighted daily with the use of laptop computers that have been loaded with the latest tools which can help our students bypass learning roadblocks and extend their educational opportunities.
