Seminole State College is offering a “Read to Achieve” Summer Day Camp for first- through fifth-graders needing to enhance their reading comprehension skills. 
This two-week reading skills camp will place an emphasis on reading comprehension by using a combination of children’s literature, highly focused concentration exercises, hands-on experiences and strategies to help increase reading speed.
The camp schedule is July 20-23 and July 27-30 from 9 a.m. to noon. The cost of the reading camp is $49. All materials are included. 
The camp will be taught by Holly Guess in the Enoch Kelly Haney Center in Room 104. Guess has earned a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Mount Olive College in Mount Olive, N.C. She taught first- and third-grade in Mount Olive. 
The purpose of the program is to give students an opportunity to enhance their reading comprehension skills, such as recalling information and details, following sequence of events, identifying main ideas, making conclusions, predicting outcomes and classifying. 
Those wanting to enroll are encouraged to call Carol Hartman, business and training coordinator, at 382-9246. Participants also can enroll at the college’s Office of Admissions in the Tanner Hall Administration Building, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday and Tuesday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Friday.
