Summer Reading Camp at Reid Ranch | ||
It’s Time For Students to Sign Up For Reid Ranch’s Summer 2013 Reading Camp
If you’re looking for a recipe that mixes fun, excitement, and learning into a well balanced summer program – you’ll be interested in Reid Ranch’s summer reading program for children and youth. We have mountains to climb, horses to ride, three swimming pools, spa, archery, paddle boats and canoes on a 12-acre lake, volleyball and other sports. But, most importantly, we have an outstanding reading and language arts program daily. The reading teachers are eager to teach. Responsible and personable counselors are assigned to direct the students’ other activities. Students may register for one or two weeks of instruction in the program. Instruction will begin on June 10, 2013 and will end on June 21, 2013. The cost is $800/week plus tax. (This includes the instruction fee of $325 for 3-hours daily instruction and room and board at $475.) There is a 15% discount on the instruction fee for students who register for both weeks. The program is completely individualized so students continue to progress throughout their stay, regardless of the duration. 
Teachers at Reid Ranch use teaching techniques developed by Dr. Ethna R. Reid, Director of the Exemplary Center for Reading Instruction (ECRI). These techniques have assured success in learning to read, write and spell for hundreds of students. The ECRI techniques have been validated by the U.S. Department of Education for dissemination nationally. ECRI is used in most of the 50 states and in some foreign countries. Data pertaining to its use in school districts and the significant statistical differences that ECRI makes are available upon request. Also, at the Reid Ranch are outstanding ECRI teachers from throughout the U.S. and some foreign countries who have registered in graduate courses to receive or continue training in ECRI’s techniques – so there is an exciting, academic atmosphere present. The students receive special tutoring in addition to the three hours daily instruction, and a computer class can be taken while they are at Reid Ranch without extra charge, and your child could practice as many hours a day as desired. |
