College Reading Success

College Reading Success

Supported by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, this initiative provides reading and study skills instruction to WKU students and high school students who self-select or are referred for participation in clinical services offered by the WKU Center for Literacy. Students use authentic materials (textbooks from courses in which they are enrolled) and perform authentic tasks (engaged reading of texts, synthesis of information, note-taking, study skills) directly related to present coursework.

Graduate students meet weekly with small groups of undergraduates who recognize that they need literacy support to be successful. CRS helps these students master the necessary reading and study skills that they need to be able to achieve their educational goals.
