For the entire month of July 2020, the UNC Charlotte Summer Reading Camp staff provided virtual reading instruction 44 children who will be either a 2nd or 3rd grader in the fall. Trained, credentialed teachers from local elementary schools provided 1:1 instructional sessions every day for 30 minutes, using the evidence-based program Sound Partners (Vadasy et al., 2004), published by Voyager Sopris. This explicit, systematic phonics program is designed to support growth in foundational reading skills, including phonemic awareness, letter-sound knowledge, word reading, sight word reading, and reading fluency.
