BOISE - Boise State University's Literacy Lab is offering a spring tutoring session for early readers, the university said Nov. 4. The 10-week program starts Feb. 2, 2027, and meets from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Education Building.
Tutors are Boise State students training to be teachers, supervised by practicing teachers and Boise State faculty. Sessions use structured literacy, writing and authentic texts.
The program is aimed at emergent readers who need extra support, including kindergartners at or near grade level and first and second graders who are behind in overall reading, according to the university. It costs $175 per child for the session, and a limited number of scholarships and payment plans are available. Families apply through a form linked in the university's announcement.
