The Clinic for Literacy provides students opportunities to improve reading and writing achievement. Teacher candidates serve students through analysis of literacy needs and intervention. Literacy coursework taught at the U of A is immediately applied while working with students. Students receive a boost or extra intervention if they have reading or writing deficits.
The Clinic for Literacy hosts camps in the spring, fall and summer.
If you have questions, email litcamp@uark.edu or visit the literacy camp registration page.
