Reading Clinic

Our Reading Clinic provides intensive, individualized, one-to-one tutoring using assessment and instructional methods proven by research to promote reading; serving primarily children in early elementary grades.

We use state-of-the-art practices in teaching reading to students with reading disabilities or other students with disabilities who are delayed readers.

An Innovative Approach

The emphasis of this clinic is on treatment. We provide ongoing assessments on each student's progress on a session-to-session and week-to-week basis. This keeps everyone on track; tutor, student, and parents stay informed so that the instructional program can be individually tailored to the student's needs.

How The Reading Clinic Works

• Students are tutored for 60 minutes, 2 times a week during the school year, 4 times a week during summer.
• All students are evaluated to determine specific reading needs.
• Ambitious but realistic goals are determined for the tutoring period.
• Supervised advanced undergraduate and graduate students provide the tutoring.
