UCF's iREAD & iHEAR Summer Camps

Our intensive reading programs are based on the science of reading and a language-rich approach. We use clinically-based methods that provide a tailored and individualized approach for each student that’s designed to meet their specific and unique needs and make the most progress possible. The intensive Reading Enrichment for Academic Development (iREAD) program was developed using evidence based on the science of reading combined with rich oral language-based approaches to assist children with reading disorders develop the underlying, foundational skills necessary for success in reading and writing. A daily, structured schedule, systematic instruction, and multisensory approaches are implemented on an intensive basis to target phonological and phonemic awareness, sight word and unfamiliar word reading, reading comprehension, spelling, and writing.

iHEAR will assist children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) to develop the underlying, foundational skills necessary for success in reading and writing. This pilot program will include incoming first through third graders who use amplification technology consistently to develop the underlying, foundational skills necessary for success in reading and writing.

Scholarships are available through our program, and we accept the Family Empowerment Scholarship and the New Worlds Scholarship, both provided by Step Up for Students.
