ESY… summer school… extended school year… no matter what you call it, it’s all about supporting your students all summer long!
Summer school can be tough for everyone. Teachers moving classrooms/ schools, students coming different hours, things packed away, different staff, hot classrooms… there are so many variables. One BIG fact to remember is that your students are there for a reason… to continue with consistency is KEY. Do not make it all fluff… practice what they know and keep them learning on a schedule.
Simple Comprehension for July is all about topics that will help spark conversation and support your students during the Summer.
This July, students will work on the vocabulary they are living during the summer. From cookouts to fireworks, beaches to zoos, you will continue to work on your students comprehension, sequencing, and vocabulary, but also be able to touch on home life and social skills through these differentiated stories.

When you work on comprehension and sequencing, the stories don’t have to be boring. While many of our students are working at a simplified level… you can teach level 3 to the whole group… then break down into groups to assess students further.
