Executive Function-Based Summer Learning Programs

☀️ The summer is a unique opportunity for students to build skills without academic pressure

The summer is a unique window of opportunity for students to catch up on and/or enhance their foundational skills, without the pressure of homework, tests, or academic demands.

 

At Brightside Learning, our summer programs are designed to help students reduce learning loss, strengthen foundational skills, and build confidence for the year ahead!

 

Each program is active, engaging, and individualized to support the way each student learns best!

In addition to Student Success Coaching, we also offer specialized programs over the summer to help students build skills for success all year long:

I. Reading Strategies​

The Reading Strategies program helps students strengthen reading skills & comprehension through active & metacognitive thinking, executive function strategies, and purposeful engagement with the text. Students learn how to become active participants while reading by using tools and strategies that support attention, engagement, and self-monitoring. ​

Areas of focus are tailored to each student's individual needs and include: ​

​​✅ Strategies for Active Reading​

​​✅ Methodical Reading with Sequence & Order

✅ Previewing & Predicting

✅ Identifying Themes & Main Ideas​

✅ Inferencing & Reading Between the Lines​

✅ Note-Taking for Comprehension & Meaning​

II. Writing Strategies​

The Writing Strategies program supports students in structuring and enhancing written expression through executive function development and active metacognitive strategies. Students work to move from active idea generation to structure to expression, through the application of strategies for organization, planning, self-monitoring, and active engagement. ​

Areas of focus are tailored to each student's individual needs and include: ​

​​✅ Brainstorming & Idea Generation​

​​✅ Ordering & Organizing Ideas

✅ Planning & Organizing for Writing

✅ Developing Thesis Statements​

✅ Structuring Sentences & Paragraphs​

✅ Revising & Editing​

III. Academic Support (Previewing & Remediation)​

Our specialized Academic Support program provides students with the opportunity to preview upcoming materials before the school year starts and to strengthen areas of difficulty from the previous year, facilitated through an executive function and metacognitive lens. By allowing students to learn in a one-on-one environment that holds their full attention (no distractions like in a classroom), and using differentiated learning strategies and methods to identify gaps and preview what is coming up, they are set up to be fully prepared to learn the materials in class when school begins. 

Students benefit from:

​​✅ Previewing Academic Content

​​✅ Identifying and Filling in Academic Gaps​

✅ Personalized Learning Approach

​​✅ Strengthening Foundational Skills

​​✅ Improved Focus in the Classroom

✅ Increased Confidence & Academic Engagement
