These workshops provide an excellent overview of research based techniques that can best aid in the development of children's literacy. The Reading Center also maintains a catalog of both local and web based resources that are useful for educators, parents, and children. Prevention and Early Intervention Traditional reading clinics and remedial programs tend to wait until the manifestation of reading difficulties. While it is never too late to assist children in their literacy development, the Reading Center advocates and pursues the alternative approach of preventing reading difficulties through early intervention strategies for younger children. To that end, the Center has established partnership with the Child Study Center at ODU to provide individualized reading enrichment services to preschoolers enrolled at the Child Study Center.
Every learner is considered a developmental learner.
The child is then diagnosed for reading abilities and efforts are placed on improving the concerned areas.
