The Literacy Research Center and Clinic at the University of Wyoming provides dynamic assessment and targeted, personalized tutoring to school-aged (K-12) students. Students are selected on a first-come, first-served basis. Students selected for participation have many different learning profiles: some struggle just a bit, while others experience severe reading or writing difficulty. Some are diagnosed as having specific special education needs while others are not eligible in their respective schools for special support services in reading and writing. Some do reasonably well in reading, but struggle in writing. In all cases, tutoring sessions provide a comprehensive approach to literacy learning geared towards students’ developing interests and skills.
Tutors are either endorsed classroom teachers who are engaged in advanced study in literacy education or working in local schools, or undergraduates who have taken literacy education coursework. In either case, all tutors work under the direct supervision of University of Wyoming faculty, and experienced doctoral-level graduate students and/or school-based instructional facilitators.
Please contact the LRCC <

Confirmation of application submission will be emailed to you from our Executive Director or Clinic Graduate Student prior to the start of the University of Wyoming's fall and spring semesters.
Thank you, and we look forward to working with you!
