Young Kerr County
residents were able to improve their
literacy skills during the Summer
Reading Academy held on the Schreiner
University campus June 6-29.
Karen Backor, instructor of education
and reading at Schreiner, said all
pre-service teachers enrolled in her
Diagnosis & Remediation Reading class,
administered tests to students on their
first day at the academy to determine
their reading level and skills. Then
they followed each child personally to
monitor their progress throughout the
month.
“We were very happy with our students’
accomplishments this summer,” said
Backor. “It was a wonderful experience
for my pre-service teachers as well as
the children.”
At the end of the academy’s last session
students were given a Schreiner
University T-shirt and cap compliments
of Dr. Carole Errett, Ph.D., director of
the Dept. of Education at Schreiner, and
a graduation party was held for the
children and their families. |
