Who knew that reading could be so much fun?!? Our virtual courses and programs are different because students interact with each other and with the teacher in a small-group setting with no more than 10 students. The courses are structured and organized with specific times for discussion, writing, and review.
If you are looking to get your kids reading and writing this summer, join Mr. Andrew for these enjoyable courses. And, they don't have to read the books ahead of time, they will be reading them throughout the week.
What about the books?
For purposes of the discussion, we will provide a hard-copy book so that we are all working with the same edition. You are welcome to read it on your Kindle or electronic device, but we ask that you have a copy of the book for the discussion. The books will be available the week before the camp starts with the STEM materials.
Method: Virtual, synchronous, and live
What do kids and parents have to say about our Virtual Literature and Writing courses from Spring Break?
"Thank you so much Mr. Andrew for the wonderful camp. As you said, writing in twenty minute sessions was so much better than just sitting down for two hours. I think that that was the best camp I've ever been to, mostly because of how good of a teacher you were." - Elementary Student
"Would like to thank Mr. Andrew for teaching - our child really was engaged and is now talking about writing more stories on his own" - Elementary Parent
"This is the funniest and best camp I have ever been to!" - Middle School Student
"Thanks so much! My child really enjoyed this camp and was eager to share the updates to his story each day. It was nice for him to have something fun and creative to focus on this week." - Middle School Parent
"My boys absolutely loved your class and can't wait to take another one!" - High School Parent
