Helping students build skills and confidence for the year ahead

Each summer, Lee Pesky Learning Center’s Summer Bridge program helps students strengthen their reading and literacy skills so they can start the new school year ready to succeed. Designed especially for elementary students and multilingual learners, Summer Bridge offers small-group, research-based instruction that supports growth in phonics, fluency, and comprehension.

Focused Support, Lasting Results

In just a few weeks, students make measurable gains in reading skills, and even more importantly, in confidence. Using assessment tools such as the CORE Phonics Survey and easyCBM Reading Fluency, we track each learner’s progress to ensure they are growing in both accuracy and understanding.

More Than a Summer Program

Summer Bridge is more than reading practice, it’s a bridge to opportunity. By combining evidence-based instruction with encouragement and connection, our educators help students rediscover the joy of learning and enter the school year ready to thrive.
