Summer Learning

Our Reading Skills Program is key to your summer programming success.

Summer reading programs not only prevent the traditional “summer slide,” but also drive academic achievement in nearly every other subject.

Engaging summer instruction that can reach students in need without burdening existing staff.

Engaging instruction

Students attend a weekly in-person or online class where they participate in lively discussions and keep their reading and comprehension skills sharp throughout the summer months.

Flexible program options

Flexible sessions are offered throughout the summer months and can be held on campus or at home.

Instructors provided

Small group classes are facilitated by a highly-trained IRD instructor. One-on-one ELA support is also available on demand throughout the program.

3+ hours of extended learning

Our classes offer at least 3 hours of extended learning each week that will build vital skills and help students enter the next grade with confidence.

IRD also provides the comprehensive, behind-the-scenes support your district needs, including customized outreach to boost enrollment, program implementation, dedicated technical support, and post-session reporting.
