COLA-Literacy-01 - Community Literacy Center: 1:1 Literacy Support
Course Description
Work on your goals for reading and writing with a CLC tutor! In-person and online options available.
Students meet individually with a tutor for 45 minute sessions. During their first meetings, students complete assessments and establish a literacy goal. Tutors use students’ assessments, interests, and goals to guide research-based, developmentally appropriate literacy instruction. Activities might include: word chains, word ladders, phonics instruction, reader’s theater, riddles, jokes, assisted reading, and writing activities.
Who: Students in Grades K-12
Where: Community Literacy Center, 109 Morrill Hall, 63 College Rd., Durham, NH or online
Dates: September 17-December 5, 2024 and from January 28-May 1, 2025
Days/Times: Tuesday and/or Thursday, 3:30-4:15pm, 4:30-5:15pm, 5:30-6:15pm, or 6:30-7:15pm
New students may register at any time, but all slots are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Register early for the greatest time/day selection.
After registration is complete, the CLC will contact you to learn about your child as a reader and writer and set up your tutoring schedule (#sessions per week, in-person or online, and time). It takes about two weeks between registration and the first tutoring meeting.
Participants purchase 6, 12, 24, or 46-session punch cards. To retain a tutoring spot, a new punch card must be purchased prior to completion of the prior punch card. If a child is regularly attending tutoring, punch cards do not expire between semesters. If a child is not regularly attending tutoring (i.e. missed 3 or more meetings in a row), the punch card expires at the end of a semester. All CLC attendance policies apply to punch card use.
No refunds are provided unless the program is cancelled. Additional information including drop off and pick up locations are sent directly from program staff.

Online Registration Instructions: Review before enrolling for the best outcome. Family Accounts are recommended for enrolling multiple children from one family in any UNH Youth Program. If you already have an account in our system, you will be asked to log into either a Family or Student Account after adding the program to your shopping cart. Be sure to use the username and password for the type of account you wish to log into. We recommend attempting to log into the Student or Family account before enrollment opens as this will minimize difficulty and time while enrolling. Email youth.programs@unh.edu if you require assistance recovering your account information. Do not create a new account if you have one already.
If you don't have an account already, you can set up an account at any time, even before you begin the registration process. If creating a new student/individual account, the account must be in the name of the child, but the email address provided in the profile should be that of a parent/legal guardian.
