Aftercare Summer Literacy Program

The Big Top will also be offering for the first time a literacy intensive extension of its arts-focused summer camp. In the hours between 3 and 6 PM, campers can participate in independent reading during sustained silent reading, summer reading support, story time and story sharing, listening to audio books, creative writing, making reading journals, and reader's theater in which students create and act in short skits based on their reading.

Ann Marie Coviello has a master's degree from the Univeristy of California in education in literacy and culture. She taught language arts for fifteen years in New Orleans public school before becoming a certified school librarian. She is currently the head librarian at Ridgewood Preparatory School.
