How can you venture 20,000 leagues under the sea, fly to Neverland and step through a looking-glass all without ever leaving Austin? By attending a camp focused on reading of course! Join your friends this summer on an adventure at Regents. Together we will explore different genres and discuss reading preferences. We will navigate books from the library, check out great books, discuss what makes a great story, and make meaningful projects that relate to our daily themes. By the end of the week. your child will have a personally curated list of books to keep their adventures going all summer! Going deeper into the week: This camp is designed to cultivate a love of reading and is not focused on language therapy. Each day we will explore a different genre, review lots of books together and together discover books to interest your child! Students will have a chance to check out and take home some of the books covered in camp to try it out on their own. We will also work on projects and play games that tie to the lesson. The greatest outcome of the week is to inspire all readers, from those who haven't found a book they are interested in (reluctant readers), all the way to the child who loves to read and is searching for new books to explore! Alaina Hanson is the fifth grade Literature teacher. She has a passion to help students find books they can’t put down, and introduce them to new authors and genres to expand their reading life.
