K-5 Reading Center

Capital's School of Education sponsors remedial reading tutoring sessions for students who are struggling in the reading process in grades kindergarten through 5 at the Reading Center. These sessions are conducted by upper-level Capital students who are majoring in education under the skillful leadership and supervision of an on-site professor. The Reading Center started in 1976 and was funded by the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation. In its 40+ year existence, the Reading Center has served over 2,000 students.

What We Do

Our reading tutors can help your child with:

• Assessment skills
• Literacy skills
• Communication skills

Tutors do not work on homework assignments. The skills provided will assist tutees to complete their homework independently.

A Whole Semester for $100

We offer a one-to-one tutoring environment that meets for one hour for two late afternoons a week for ten weeks each semester.

We also offer tutoring that meets one hour for three days a week over a four-week summer school for $75.00. (Sibling discount not available during Summer sessions.)

We offer a sibling discount, so parents can reduce their fee for two children by $25.
