NSUBA Hosts Grand Opening of Reading Clinic

BROKEN ARROW The Northeastern State University College of Education will host the grand opening of the Reading Clinic on the Broken Arrow campus on Friday, Oct. 24 from 4-6 p.m. in the Visitors Gallery of Building A.

The clinic is a wonderful addition for the Broken Campus, said Dr. Stephan Sargent, chair of the NSU Reading Program. It is essential in preparing our teacher candidates, both graduate and undergraduate, to be excellent teachers of reading. The Reading Clinic also reaches out to the community, with many families driving in from up to two hours away.

The Reading Clinic provides tutorial assistance to students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade as part of the NSU graduate reading program. NSU education majors in the program gain practical experience working in the clinic under the supervision of university faculty, while students from the Tulsa Metropolitan Area enrolled at the clinic receive additional instruction in reading and literacy skills.

Oklahoma author and illustrator Kim Doner will speak at the event, with opening remarks from NSU President Dr. Don Betz.

Tours and an open house will follow the keynote address. For more information or to RSVP, call 918-449-6569.
