Shout-Out to Our AMAZING CLUE Camp Teachers!
Below is some of our data collected through the parent survey. We are excited to receive positive feedback on our Google classrooms as we build on our success from the spring and learn from our practice round in the summer. We will be ready for a fabulous fall term.
Assigned Summer Reading for CLUE Students Entering Grades 6-9
Academic achievement is paramount for students in the CLUE Program. Students work diligently to make gains during the school year, and our goal is to minimize the loss of learning during the summer months. According to a study by professors at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, students who read books for summer reading at home demonstrated a significantly higher level of reading achievement. Furthermore, the study concluded that students who do not read in the summer can [over time] fall a year behind students who do (Allington, McGill-Frazen, 2010). To keep learning in a forward motion, we are continuing our summer reading program for all of our CLUE students who are entering grades six through nine.
All students will read the required book listed below, and this reading should be finished before students return to school on August 31, 2020. CLUE English teachers will use information from the book in class during the first couple of weeks of school and may give comprehension assessments on the materials. Students should be prepared to bring a copy of the book with them to class during this time.
The CLUE Summer Reading Portal has been created to provide instructional support to students who are reading independently over the summer months. The portal includes background information, videos, and graphics organizers to help students comprehend the text at a deeper level. Most of our books are also provided in a FREE digital format on our CLUE901 webapage at: http://www.clue901.com/cluebooks.html
