GRANT
Auburn University’s Community and Civic Engagement
The Lee County Literacy Coalition (LCLC) and I, along with my undergraduate research team of SLPs-to-be, members of the Literacy, Language, and Culture (LiLaC) Lab, will collaborate to provide training to the tutors of LCLC one-on-one tutoring program. The purpose of the project will be: 1) to develop more accurate and culturally responsive assessment of learners’ reading skills and 2) to provide more targeted and culturally responsive instruction for the learners of Lee County so that they may become more active members of their community.
