TUSCALOOSA, Alabama --- The University of Alabama, College of Continuing Studies will offer eight different reading skills programs for 4 year olds through adults.  Tuition and materials fees vary by program level.

 Early summer session begins the week of June 4 and a late summer session begins the week of July 9.

Programs are offered in Daphne and Mobile.

Reading programs for younger students build comprehension and students learn the phonics and fluency skills they need to become strong readers. Programs for older students and adults are geared toward improving comprehension and study skills, vocabulary, and speed reading. The skills taught in the classes reinforce the importance of reading for pleasure and developing a lifelong love of books.

These programs have been offered as a community service by The University of Alabama, College of Continuing Studies since 2003.  The programs are taught by instructors from the Institute of Reading Development.
