Kids and Teens Increase Reading Comprehension and Speed at Summer Enrichment Program
One of the ways in which students learn academic skills at SuperCamp is through Quantum Reading. While SuperCamp is much more than a reading skills camp, the improved reading comprehension and reading speed students acquire benefit campers for years to come.
Quantum Reading works by covering both reading comprehension and reading speed, as these two facets work together in how the brain retains information. Improved reading comprehension and increased reading speed helping students complete their studying in less time, while producing 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.
Many students consider reading to be a chore, which is why SuperCamp includes Quantum Reading instruction at each of the program’s three levels. At the start of the reading skills segment, students measure their reading speed and also come up with a reading comprehension score. At the completion of the academic session, they measure their reading comprehension and speed again to see how much improvement they have made. In many cases, the final result shows a tripling, or even quadrupling of speed and retention!
SuperCamp’s Quantum Reading program covers six steps: Preparation (learning the ABCs of reading), Getting into State (techniques), Eyes and Hands (methods for using the power of the eyes and hands as guides), SuperScan ( a way to quickly expose the eyes and brain to the pages), Reading, and Review (how to recap for optimal comprehension).
At SuperCamp, students 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. In other words, students learn that enhanced reading comprehension and reading speed will help them in school and, just as importantly, will open new doors to them in their lives away from school as well.
Quantum Reading is only one of the many academic experiences students take in while at SuperCamp. To learn more about this tool and to find out more about SuperCamp's summer enrichment programs, please call 1-800-28-LEARN or visit www.SuperCamp.com.
