Clinic tutors use strategies proven by research to promote reading.
Strategies are used that teach relations between letters and sounds, how sounds fit together to form words, fluency, and comprehension. Tutors are graduate students in the Department of Special Education supervised by an experienced special education teacher. All students are evaluated to determine specific reading needs. Ambitious but realistic goals are determined for the tutoring period. Reading progress is measured regularly and instruction is provided accordingly.
