THE PROGRAM WORKS CLOSELY WITH SCHOOLS TO REACH OUT TO THOSE CHILDREN WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM INDIVIDUAL TUTORING IN READING AND WRITING. FIVE DIFFERENT GRADUATE CLASSES IN LITERACY WITH FIELDWORK REQUIREMENTS MAKE UP THIS PROGRAM SO THAT THE NAUC CAN OFFER TO TUITION IN THE FALL, SPRING, AND SUMMER SESSIONS. ADDITIONALLY, SOME OF THE CLASSES ARE PAIRED SO THAT STUDENT PARTICIPANTS CAN GET TUTORING HELP TWICE A WEEK, WHICH HAS BEEN FOUND TO PROVIDE GREATER GAINS WITH CHILDREN THAN OFFERING A WEEKLY PROGRAM.
