Hauppauge is inspiring a love for learning this summer through its Elementary Library Program, open to rising first through sixth grade students throughout July and August.
Hosted in Hauppauge High School’s library on Mondays and Wednesdays for five weeks, the program offers students a fun, enriching environment to build essential literacy and math skills. Students work on reading strategies like decoding, comprehension and fluency, as well as key math concepts including computation, fluency and problem-solving.
Each week features a unique theme to add to the fun. During the week of July 21, for example, the theme was “Magical Realms”. Students wrote and illustrated their own books inspired by the topic and had the opportunity to check out books centered around magic and adventure. Hauppauge High School volunteers, including members of the English Honor Society, worked with the small groups to offer guidance, encouragement and support.
In partnership with the Hauppauge Public Library, the program also gives students the opportunity to check out books and participate in read-aloud sessions during each visit.
