A group of graduate education Penn State Harrisburg students actu ally participated in reading camp held on campus this past summer. For them, it was actually a six week course designed for graduating edu cation students who are completing their requirements for certification to be a reading specialist. The technical term for the pro gram is reading clinic. It is a pro gram for young people with reading and writing and disabilities. The course is a 5-credit practicum that allows graduate students to apply what they have learned in the masters program in a real life situa tion. Each student is assigned two reading and writing students that Humanities department gets new Shakespeare professor Dr Margaret Rose Jaster will be the new Shakespeare professor in the Humanities Division. She comes to Penn State Harrisburg from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. There, she taught undergraduate courses in Shakespeare's comedies and histories, western literary masterworks, freshman composition, early British literature and advanced composition. Jaster also taught courses in Shakespeare, British literature and com position at the University of Maryland at College Park from 1989 to 1994. In August of 1994 Jaster was awarded a Doctoral Degree from the University of Maryland at College Park, and in 1977 she received a Master of Arts in British literature from Wroxton College of Fairleigh Dickinson University in Oxford, England. When teaching Shakespeare, she would like to help students come to terms with the language early in the course, and then allow students to tell her what they think. "Shakespeare was in business to make money. not to impress us 400 years later," Jaster said. "He was a man of his time. The plays were made to be performed.- Jaster will take a look at how the plays looked then and how they look to us now. taster is a substitute aerobics instructor and dedicated runner, run ning 20 to 30 miles per week.

"The one-to-one these graduate students have with the kids they will most likely never have that opportu nity again in the public school set ting," said Barb Marinak, a public school reading specialist and part time instructor at PSH. Marinak and Diane Bottomley, professor of reading at PSH, oversee the reading clinic by taking on a "passive supportive role," Bottomley explains. The graduate students see their two students on an individual, unmonitored basis. At the end of an average day, after the young students have left, Bottomley and Marinak meet with the students in a group session for round table discussion. Here the stu dents talk about their individual cases, which gives the entire group a greater range of knowledge.

So even though they may not work with every student, they know about every student at the reading camp. This summer, there were young students whos ages ranged from 7 to 14. These students are usually referred to the clinic because there is a need for concern expressed by the school district, physician or a parent. The fee for the clinic is $35. The program can only accept as many applicants as there are gradu ate students to cover. One of the considerations in the application review process is the most sever need.

The goals of the clinic are to improve the students attitude toward learning, determine the specific reading problems, and improve the self-concept of the students. From this, a case study is produced for each student. "Once the case studies are done, they go to the parents and schools and a copy stays here and then that becomes a teaching tool for us," said Bottomley.
