Literacy summer courser to catch up / improve (year 6 going7)

[Luckyfab]

I need a summer course from my DD to improve her literacy/ comprehension before the starting of the new school.
Do you any suggestions in the Wokingham area (Berkshire) or online?

I'm not going to be much help here, but I'm not convinced that a summer course will be the way to go. If the y6 focus on this hasn't paid dividends I'm not really sure what a summer course is likely to achieve? (Unless of course there are special circumstances like illness, or primary being hopeless, or having lived abroad with EAL).

An alternative approach could be that for this summer you insist she keeps up reading every day, and maybe writes a summer diary (with you correcting selected spelling & grammar errors.) Then consider an English tutor once she is settled in secondary. I think slow and steady is the way to go with English, it is certainly helping my DD2 (now y9).

It is a worry though, as literacy skills impact so many subjects in secondary. Also, you know your DD best, so feel free to ignore me!

ps Audio books are also good as they still hear the language and have to comprehend it, which is better than not reading harder books at all.

DD has a language disorder and having an audio book and following in the physical book has helped a lot.
I would avoid any summer tuition, having a break is just as important as school. There’s a reason we have statutory holidays at work.
I agree with the books and summer diary. Shows her good literacy skills are very useful.

Does her secondary school run anything? Schools round here often offer summer schools for DC who haven't achieved the "meeting expectations" level in Year 6.
And equally (not the question you were asking I know ) they will offer additional support for DC working below the level required.
