Vibha Summer Bridge Program 2022
Diving Into Literacy
This year, ICS collaborated with non-profit partner Vibha to invite 50 studnets to take part in Summer Bridge, a 4 week intensive program that aims to help students meet their reading goals.
Students were in small class sizes of no more than 10 students, allowing lots of practice and individualized instruction.
Students not only read and practiced sight words though. They also got to explore scientific inquiry and creative projects that fit the under-the-sea theme. They mined fossils, tested buoyancy, crafted a swarm of jellyfish, and more!
To celebrate the 60% of students who grew at least one reading level during the program, we took a field trip to the Georgia Aquarium to see all the animals they studied in person.
