Summer Reading Clinic

Enhancing Literacy Comprehension

The Texas Wesleyan Reading Clinic is designed and taught by Master of Education students who are working on a reading specialist degree.

Teachers will conduct both formal and informal assessments on each child, then plan appropriate literacy lessons to meet their needs.

Young children will work on beginning phonics and reading readiness skills, build comprehension and develop a love for books and reading. Older students will learn to read independently, learn sight words, build comprehension and gain the skills and confidence necessary for success in school. Students that are ready will also work on developing reading fluency and decoding skills.

All students will have many opportunities for creative and responsive writing.

There is a $50 fee for the clinic for the 1st child any siblings attending will pay a $25.00 aditional fee. The clinic will be held from 10:15 a.m.-noon Monday-Thursday. Sign ups begin April 1, 2019, and children are enrolled on a first-come-first-serve basis. Children ages 5-11 are invited to attend.
