SUMMER EARLY BIRD READING
Summer 2025
Cathy Cummins’ Early Bird Reading
at St. David’s Episcopal School
with Ashlie Williams & Michele Cummins
St. David's Episcopal School is proud to once again offer Cathy Cummins’ Early Bird Reading, a program that fosters a lifelong love of learning and a strong literacy foundation, for children ages 4-7 this summer!
Founded by Cathy Cummins over 36 years ago, this program has benefited over 20,000 students and counting. The curriculum blends Orton-based phonics with controlled vocabulary readers, covering oral language, rhyming patterns, and 71 phonograms. Activities include word games, manuscript writing, and phonogram-related art projects to reinforce learning and fine motor skills.
Students work on phonics projects while reading aloud individually and take home readers to progress through levels. Group exercises are also a big part of the fun while advanced students join the Comprehension Circle for deeper reading analysis.
This summer, Michele and Ashlie will hold class in two-week sessions. Class is offered in the morning (9:00-11:30) or afternoon (12:30-3:00). Children registered for Summer at St. David’s in the morning and Early Bird Reading Sessions 1, 2 or 3 in the afternoon may also take advantage of EBR Lunch Bunch. With EBR Lunch Bunch, your child will stay in the Summer at St. David’s classroom for lunch and then be picked up by EBR staff for their afternoon class. The cost of Lunch Bunch is $100 per session and will be added to your Summer at St. David’s invoice. (Lunch Bunch is not available Session 4).
