For children who are rising 6th graders (for the 2019-2020 school year), LOFL will be offering a camp session that will focus on continuing to strengthen and develop literacy skills.
Certified teachers with strong backgrounds in the upper elementary grades will be using short stories/poems as a jumping off point to dive into:
- Reading comprehension (making inferences based on explicit or implied information, identifies main themes, provides text evidence for support)
- Critical analysis of author’s writing style
- Figurative Language vs. Literal Language / Analogies
- Writing Skills:
- organizational writing (introduction, body, conclusion with transitions)
- creative writing
- exploration of new vocabulary
Through the use of Google Blogger, camp writing can be shared with families throughout the session. In addition, Powtoon and other online tools will be accessible to incorporate art and technology.
