LEWISTON — Bates College Summer Programs and Events will offer eight reading skills programs for 4-year-olds through adults beginning the week of July 23. Tuition and materials fees vary by program level.
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.
The programs are being offered as a community service by Bates College Summer Programs and Events. The programs will be taught by instructors from the Institute of Reading Development on the Bates College campus and in Lewiston.
