Celebrate Reading Progress All Summer!

Summer is a great time to prepare students for the reading and writing expectations of 1st grade.At Stretch & Catch, we help students strengthen all aspects of phonics: short vowel sounds, blends, digraphs and vCe skills. We also help with all of the early reading fluency and decoding skills. These skills help children move from a beginning reader to a more confident reader. A little practice over the summer can make the transition to 1st grade much smoother.

Ask Questions While Reading

After reading a story, ask your child simple questions like “What happened first?” or “Why did the character do that?”. These questions help children think about what they read and strengthen comprehension skills. Talking about books also makes reading more engaging and interactive.

It is important to make reading a part of daily like in the summer.

Children become stronger readers when they see reading as part of everyday life. Encourage your child to read menus, signs, instructions, or recipes. Real-world reading builds confidence and shows children that reading skills are useful everywhere.

Kindergarten Readiness Matters!

Starting kindergarten with strong early skills can make a big difference in a child’s confidence and success. At Stretch & Catch, we help preschool students develop letter sounds, phonemic awareness, early reading skills, and beginning writing. These foundational skills help children feel prepared and comfortable when they enter the classroom. When students start kindergarten ready to learn, they often build stronger reading and writing skills throughout school.

Encourage Daily Writing

Writing doesn’t always have to be formal. Encourage your child to write short notes, lists, or a daily journal. Even a few sentences each day helps children practice organizing their thoughts and applying spelling patterns. Frequent writing practice builds confidence and stronger communication skills.

A great way to build vocabulary is simply talking about new words during everyday activities. If your child hears an unfamiliar word while reading or watching something, pause and discuss what it means. The more words children understand, the stronger their reading comprehension becomes. Vocabulary growth supports both reading and writing.
