BERGEN — Graduate students from SUNY Geneseo have for the past three years spent three weeks each July providing one-on-one or small group tutoring to elementary students as part of the summer literacy program at Byron-Bergen Elementary School.
SUNY Geneseo’s Reading and Literacy Graduate Program pairs graduate students, many of whom are working teachers, with elementary school-aged students. Together, they set literacy goals and develop strategies to achieve them. This year’s clinic, which wrapped up July 24, included 14 graduate students and 30 elementary students.
