Reading Tutoring Available at GSU
University Park, April 10, 2007 - This summer, Governors State University's Graduate Program in Reading is sponsoring The Literacy Zone, a reading tutorial program for students in grades two through five.
"This is a one-to-one program that brings students experiencing reading problems together with teachers who have the skills to help them," explains Dr. Mary Hession, Coordinator of The Literacy Zone. "We have had a tremendous response to this program. It is very gratifying to see how our students' reading skills improve."
Students meet on campus with certified, experienced teachers enrolled in the Master of Arts Reading Program at GSU. Morning and afternoon sessions meet Monday through Thursday, from July 9 through July 30. Morning sessions are from 9 to 11 a.m. Afternoon sessions are from 1 to 3 p.m. Enrollment is limited.
There is a $100 registration fee. However, $30 will be refunded to the parents/guardians of those students who complete the program with good attendance and return all Literacy Zone materials. The fee also includes daily snacks and a pizza party on the last day.
For more information, call (708) 534-4129 or email m-hession@govst.edu.
