The Reading Clinic activities are already underway for the spring 2021 semester. We encourage and welcome inquiries for our summer 2021 and spring 2022 clinic sessions. Please call 706-542-7866.
The Reading Clinic is offered every spring semester for 10 weeks.
Students from the community in kindergarten through 12th grade come to the reading clinic's Aderhold office for one-on-one work with students who are enrolled in our graduate course LLED 6020, "Practicum in Reading Instruction and Assessment." Tutors focus on word recognition strategies (including decoding using phonics), word meanings (through vocabulary development), reading fluency, and comprehension through a variety of teaching methods embedded in literacy activities. The Reading Clinic has its own library of leveled books to use during the tutoring sessions, and students may take them home to enjoy with their family, friends, and even pets.
We suggest parents contact us in the fall in order to get their child on the list for consideration.
Ira Aaron founded the Reading Clinic in 1956, and today it is one of the oldest continuously run reading clinics in the country. He was inducted into the Reading Hall of Fame in 1983.

Our extensive selection of children's books make reading fun at any level. We use a color-coded system to separate books by grade, and our reading coaches are supervised by knowledgable faculty.
