Bounce+Description

===Bounce is an after-school and summer intervention program that is designed to help students accelerate in literacy. The program serves students in first grade and focuses on their individual needs in the areas of reading, writing and word study. During Bounce, students participate in a daily read aloud that focuses on comprehension strategies and building vocabulary. They also participate in reading groups that are instructed at their individual reading level. During these reading groups, students work in a small group environment to practice the strategies that they need to become efficient readers. During word study centers, students learn about patterns in words, word families, high frequency words and more. During writing centers, students have a variety of experiences such as writing their own books, interactive writing guided by a teacher or independent writing.
