Reading/Writing Bootcamp
Grades 1-6 (Fundamentals 1-3)
Through enriching reading material we aim to engage young minds and instill in them a passion for learning. Through immersive-English instruction, our classes help beginner learners develop strong pronunciation, listening, and speaking skills.
What is guided reading and sentence building?
Our Fundamentals program develops the foundation for strong academic writing skills. There are two main areas of focus at the elementary level—guided reading and sentence building.
-
Guided reading is done as a group where students practice reading silently, out loud, and by listening to the teacher and other students. As a class, they discuss texts to develop and enhance comprehension and vocabulary.
-
Sentence building is taught through writing practice, revision, and grammar practice. Students are asked to employ grammar skills organically through their writing. By rewriting sentences edited by their teacher, students are able to target their own individual mistakes and problems unique to their writing experience.

Magic Bone #3 Follow that Furball
Sparky, the cute, loveable sheepdog puppy, is off to Rome! Upon his arrival, he buries his bone and begins to explore the city.

Magic Bone #4 Nice Snowing You!
Hoping to escape the cold in his backyard, Sparky chomps on his magic bone—only to find himself in snowy Zermatt, Switzerland.
