Reading Clinic Course
To Banish Gremlins
That Slow Study
Students at the College can wave
goodbye to these gremlins which
make it hard to read and study.
A new course to help college stu
dents read, spell, and study bet
ter is being offered in the Reading
Clinic in the Summer semester.
No longer will the reading grem
lins slow down a student's rate of
reading, or keep him from under
standing what he has read. No
longer will spelling gremlins en
joy mixing up "a's" and "e's" and
twisting "ie" and •"ei," or the study
gremlins make it take twice as
long to learn a lesson.
The course is differentiat
ed in terms of the students' needs,
Dr. Betts, director of the Reading
Clinic, explained. Groupings are
made within a class to care for
individual needs. .One teacher su
pervises a group of students, each
of whom is working to correct his
own deficiency. This individualiz
ed method of instruction has been
used in the grades but is novel at
the college level.
