Parents who are unsure whether their children can benefit from literacy tutoring are invited to a free, open-door literacy assessment day on Tuesday, May 7, from 5: 30 – 7:00 p.m.
Graduate candidates in the MS Literacy Education program will provide complimentary literacy assessments, under the supervision of a literacy professor, to children in the k-8 age range. The assessments are designed to identify basic literacy strengths and weaknesses.
Following the assessment, parents will receive a report that can be shared with their children’s teachers, and literacy specialists will make recommendations, if necessary, for further literacy instruction.
The Literacy Center at SUNY New Paltz serves Hudson Valley community members with clinical expertise in the diagnosis and remediation of reading and writing difficulties. It also provides future teachers with valuable, hands-on professional experience helping children improve their literacy skills.
