How do I know whether my child would benefit from the services of the McEnroe Reading & Language Arts Clinic?

We focus on providing support for students in the first through eighth grade who would benefit for working on developing their literacy skills (e.g., decoding, fluency, comprehension, and/or critical evaluation of texts; writing). We also focus on creating opportunities for students to engage in literacy activities that foster a love of reading and writing. To decide whether our services are right for you and your student, please call or email us and schedule an appointment. 

 

How do I make an appointment at the McEnroe Clinic?

Please email us at readingclinic@education.ucsb.edu OR call 805-893-7905 and leave a message. We are only staffed part-time, and it may take someone several work days to get back to you. 

How will my child's progress at the McEnroe Clinic be measured, communicated?

We will begin by administering the Critical Reading Assessment (CRA), which provides information on a reader’s ability to read accurately and fluently, to make inferences and comprehend a text, and to engage with a text. Based on the CRA and other information families provide, we will identify areas to focus on and choose appropriate ways to assess progress. Results of the CRA and any other assessments will be shared with families.

What are the costs of services?

Sessions are $28.60 per hour. Needs-based scholarships are available. Please ask about this option when you sign up your student for services.
