The NEIU Literacy Center is operated by the Literacy Education graduate program. Current graduate students enrolled in their Literacy Education Practicum courses are the teachers (tutors) in this program. All assessment and instructional sessions are supervised by a Literacy Education faculty member.
- In this program, children and adolescents receive a comprehensive assessment of their current reading skills, and are provided with individualized instruction to expand those skills.
- The Literacy Center serves students from grades 2-12 who are reading below grade level or experiencing reading difficulties.
- The cost of the program is $150 for the term.
We are now accepting applications for Summer 2025!
The Summer 2025 term includes fourteen 60-minute sessions that will take place in-person twice a week on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Literacy Center on NEIU's Main Campus (Lech Walesa Hall, Room LWH 2003).
Sessions for younger students meet from 5:00-6:00pm; sessions for older students meet from 6:15pm-7:15pm. Student placements are determined by the Literacy Center Director. Sessions will begin June 9th and end on July 23rd.
Families will be notified of the status of their application by May 1st.
Please note: Punctual and consistent attendance is critical so that our graduate students can complete all state requirements. Please apply only if your child is available for each of the session dates. Thank you!
