Summer Literacy Programs Helps Students Prepare for Preschool and Kindergarten

For the 5th consecutive year, BHP and Impact on Education collaborated to offer the Summer Shuffle, a summer literacy program for 3- to 5-year-olds, taught by licensed BVSD teachers and designed to help students prepare for preschool and kindergarten. Forty-seven children and their families from six different BHP communities participated in the program.

This year, Impact on Education conducted an evaluation of the program. Results indicated that students demonstrated progress in four different areas: uppercase letter recognition, lowercase letter recognition, tracing numbers and counting numbers in sets. Teachers also noted gains in the executive function skills of participating children, which is a key indicator of future school success.

Below are excerpts from informal interviews that were conducted with parents:

  • She is more confident. She is speaking more.
  • He has become even more interested in books and in reading.
  • He pays more attention and follows the story.
  • She is writing more now; she’s writing her name at home.
  • She has improved in her fine motor skills. She is writing her name now.

Summer Shuffle provided fun, enriching summer activities, which supported students’ academic, social, and emotional growth.
