Aquinas College :: Reading Clinic

The Aquinas Reading Clinic provides a guided environment where education students can apply their knowledge of teaching and learning in literacy. An elementary and secondary clinic is available. The Aquinas Elementary Reading Clinic provides families of the community with reading diagnostic and instructional services for students from grades K - 4. The secondary clinic provides instructional services to students in grades 5 - 12.

Aquinas College tutors consist of teacher candidates (elementary and secondary – various content areas) and certified teachers. All tutors have completed at least one course (and often more) in literacy instruction before beginning the clinic tutoring. Tutors will use individualized lesson plans for each student and provide parents with a personalized report at the end of the tutoring sessions.

Reading Clinic News: Fall 2010

The School of Education has undergone several changes over the summer -- all of them positive and encouraging! We have three wonderful new additions to our faculty, Dr. Julia Reynolds [Literacy], Dr. Rui Niu [ESL], and Dr. Gina Garner [LD]. We are confident each will add to our already successful programs. As part of these changes in teaching faculty, we have also been able to partner the Reading Clinic with some of the schools in our area for this Fall. As a result, there will be no on-site clinics at Aquinas.
We apologize for any disappointment, but hope you will understand that change is necessary from time to time. We hope to have the clinics back on campus and open to the public in the Spring. Please check back to this site for future updates and schedules. Thank you for all of your trust and support. We have learned so much from working with all the families and intend to maintain our programs and keep learning for many years to come.
