Has anyone enrolled their child in the California State University East Bay
Summer Reading Skills Program? I am considering it for my 7 year-old who is
entering 2nd grade in the Fall 2012 and would love some feedback from other
parents.
While it wasn't their summer reading program, I enrolled my son in one of the
Cal State East Bay reading courses. The class met weekly at the UC Berkeley
campus, parents attend along with their child. I thought the instructors had a
good approach and I was enthusiastic. However my son was not. Even at the
young age of 7 or 8 he resented attending class on a weekend. So I don't think
he got much out of it. Other kids in the class were more engaged, so I guess
it depends on your child.

Can anyone offer any feedback, positive or negative, about the Cal State East
Bay Reading Programs? I found the flyer for their summer sessions at my
daughter's school but her teacher didn't know anything about the program. I am
thinking of sending her to the session for entering first graders this summer
but would like to hear some reviews from other parents whose children have
participated in the program to see if it is worthwhile.

We did this program for both of my children when they were entering 1st grade.
It's a half day a week for about 4-6 weeks, and parents attends the 2nd half of
the session with their child. We valued the skills we learned to assist our kids
and we applied them through 3rd grade. You learn how to constructively cue your
kids while they read out loud and keep everything upbeat when they begin to
struggle. Equally important, you'll gain an understanding of what type of book
constitutes a reader, a book that promotes reading skills. Surprisingly, most
books that are simplified for children to read don't meet this criteria.

Reading mom- You can find some programs for reading specifically-CSUEB has
exactly the program you are looking for (a.m. reading program for children your son's
age).
