Shader Croft Summer Literacy Program
A complete implementation playbook and teacher resource library for middle-school summer literacy programs.
A Complete Summer Literacy Program for Middle Schools
Shader Croft is a five-week summer literacy program developed for young adolescents who are struggling to acquire critical language and communication skills. It combines focused instruction in reading, writing and oral communication with adventure-based, community-centered learning.
This online library preserves the complete implementation pathway—from school readiness and planning through teacher preparation, program delivery and evaluation—so another school can understand, adapt and implement the model.
