Academic Summer Camp Improves Reading Speed

SuperCamp's academic summer camps for middle school and high school students provide campers with a wealth of learning skills and life skills. More effective student reading skills is one of the most important learning skills taught.

While SuperCamp is much more than a reading skills camp, the improved reading comprehension and reading speed students acquire at its teen summer camps and middle school camps benefit campers for years to come.

The reading skills portion of SuperCamp covers both reading comprehension and reading speed, as these two facets work together in the camp's powerful Quantum Reading method. Improved reading comprehension and increased reading speed help students complete their studying in less time and get higher grades. By using a combination of high interest level, highly focused concentration and specific reading comprehension and reading speed strategies, the new student reading skills capitalize on the brain's ability to grasp several words at once.

Too many teens and kids see reading as a chore, that's why reading comprehension and reading speed instruction is included at all SuperCamp program levels. At the start of the reading skills camp segment of SuperCamp, each camper's reading speed and reading comprehension is measured. When the campers complete the reading program, their reading comprehension and reading speed are measured again to see how much improvement they made.

The reading portion of the summer academic camp covers the following six steps: Preparation (starting with the right attitude, beliefs and commitment), Getting into State (techniques for preparing your mind for maximum receptivity), Eyes and Hands (methods for using the power of the eyes and using your hands to guide the eyes on the page), SuperScan (a way to quickly expose the eyes and brain to every page), Reading (focused skills to get what's needed from the reading) and Review (how to recap for optimal reading comprehension).

In the reading skills segment of SuperCamp, facilitators highlight how these improved reading comprehension and reading speed skills will help spark their curiosity. They are encouraged to use these skills to explore their interests, discover new passions and find answers immediately rather than letting potentially big ideas slip away.
