ThinkStretch consistently receives praise from teachers, administrators and summer program directors.
- Administrators appreciate the ease of implementation and the alignment with state and national curriculum standards.
- Teachers appreciate the completeness of the review and relief from hastily made packets
- Summer Program directors praise the ability to add an academic component while still maintaining an activity driven program.
“We have found that students who participate [in the Summer Learning Program] are eager to return and have kept up the study habits such as reading and writing. The skills are presented by grade levels to make them academically appropriate. We also find that students really like having these practice activities to keep their minds active during the break. Many children come from families that do not have the resources to provide a strong summer schedule of reading and math. Parents are often too busy to work with students on the skills they need to achieve academically. This program addresses these needs for all children. I highly recommend the Summer Learning Program to any school, district or grand provider. It makes a difference for children. They come back to school excited and ready to learn.”

“As the Summer Learning program Coordinator, I appreciated the ease of program implementation. ThinkStretch provided all materials needed, including summer workbooks for each student, a parent resource guided for each family and Power Point presentations for a Parents’ Night and a Student Kick-Off Assembly. The parent presentation was well attended but the Student Kick-Off Assembly was a BIG success!”

“Most importantly, the workbooks provided an easy, appropriate and comprehensive source of academic material that alleviated the achievement gap issues that become blaringly apparent during the summer for under resourced children. Bryant Community Center services an under resourced community located in Ann Arbor.”
