Tell me About: Six-Week Literacy Intensive

This six-week program is for students who need extra support with reading and writing—especially those with dyslexia or similar challenges. Groups stay small (5 students or fewer), and each session is led by a trained Literacy Utah specialist. Your child will get the structure, repetition, and encouragement they need to grow. 📌 Committing to all six weeks helps your child build strong skills, gain confidence, and finally feel successful with reading and writing.

What to Expect: @Heber or @Virtual

  • 2-hour sessions 4 days a week (Monday–Thursday) with a Literacy Utah specialist.

  • Small-group instruction (max 5 students) tailored by age and skill level

  • Focused support in reading, writing, fluency, comprehension, and spelling

  • A consistent, supportive environment where your child can grow in skill and confidence

Why it Matters:

  • Most summer programs lack the structure and expertise to truly help struggling readers—this one doesn’t

  • Your child gets what they need to finally feel capable, confident, and caught up—without falling behind over summer.

How to Sign Up:

  • Register once for the full 6-week program (June 23–July 31)

  • Space is limited—secure your child’s spot early
