FAQs

Approximately how long each station takes to complete?

You’ll likely need 30-45 minutes a day, depending on how quickly your student work through the activities and whether you’re expecting them to document every step or not. I tended to give more time because I wanted my students to show me all of their thinking on their recording sheets to build those good habits, but I do know many teachers are successful with less of an expectation on documentation! I have a blog post about running a camp if it’s helpful to you! http://buzzingwithmsb.blogspot.com/2019/03/how-to-create-fun-test-review-camp.html

Are the activities the same in the print and digital versions of your reading boot camp?

The activities are the same when it was possible to replicate them in Google Slides. Several activities needed adjustments to work in this format, but they are the same intent and very similar.
