Padgett, Carrie B.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Trevecca Nazarene College
The Jump Start Literacy Camp was developed as a means to combat summer learning loss. The camp utilized high-energy activities to target phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. This study examined the effects of the Jump Start Literacy Camp on reading achievement for rising third and fourth grade students in an urban school using a quasi-experimental design with pretests and posttests. Reading attitudes and orthographical achievement levels were also examined. Results of the study were addressed, as well as instructional implications.
