一般信息

The Reading Clinic is for children in grades 1-12. The fee is $400 (comparable services in the public sector may run as high as $2,000). All reading clinics are offered online via Zoom, so to participate your child will need a laptop or tablet and high-speed Internet access.

The dates and times of your sessions will be decided mutually between you and your child’s tutor. Reading clinics run from May-July, and include 20 one-hour sessions of assessment or assessment-based instruction (two per week).

我们的目标

Our goal is to identify your child’s current reading 的优势 and needs and provide appropriate instruction to support your child’s reading growth. We strive to help your child learn at least a few new strategies that will support his or her reading. Occasionally, children make gains in reading levels, but this is not to be expected.

评估

指导前, assessments are administered to determine your child’s reading 的优势 and needs. We identify 的优势 and needs related to orthographic knowledge, word recognition and phonics knowledge, vocabulary knowledge and processes, comprehension quality and processes, 和流利. In cases of emergent readers, we identify 的优势 and needs related to concepts about print, 信的知识, 语音意识, and listening comprehension processes. The results of these assessments, along with ongoing observations, are used to determine reading instruction. A written report summarizing the findings from these assessments will be emailed to you.

指令

The Reading Clinic provides one-on-one instruction. 导师, in consultation with the supervising professor, determines and implements an appropriate course of instruction based on assessments and instructional observation. Clinic supervisors and tutors constantly monitor student progress. 指令 is adjusted as necessary. Children nearly always make progress in reading as a result of clinic instruction.

视频使用

Since the clinics are also focused on supporting the learning of the master’s students who tutor your child, we video-record all sessions so that teachers can review and discuss their teaching practices with colleagues in their master’s course and their university supervisor.

Sometimes we ask your permission to use this video also for research purposes to improve reading instruction and teacher preparation. However, if asked, you are free to decline your permission for this use of your child’s videos. Your child will still receive the same instruction, 然后被录下来, but the videos will not be used for research purposes.
