1:1 Literacy Support - Fall 2025

Work on your goals for reading and writing with a CLC tutor! 

Students meet individually with a tutor for 45 minute sessions. During their first meetings, students complete assessments and establish a literacy goal. Tutors use students’ assessments, interests, and goals to guide research-based, developmentally appropriate literacy instruction. Activities might include: word chains, word ladders, phonics instruction, reader’s theater, riddles, jokes, assisted reading, and writing activities.

  • Who: Students in grades K-12
  • Where: UNH Community Literacy Center, Morrill Hall, Suite 109 or online
  • When: Tuesday and/or Thursday, Sept. 23-Dec. 4 (no tutoring on 11/11 or the week of 11/24-28)
  • Times Available: 3:30-4:15pm, 4:30-5:15pm, 5:30-6:15pm, 6:30-7:15pm

New students may register at any time, but all slots are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Register early for the greatest time/day selection.

After registration is complete, the CLC will contact you to learn about your child as a reader and writer and set up your tutoring schedule (#sessions per week, in-person or online, and time). It takes about two weeks between registration and the first tutoring meeting. 

Participants purchase multi-session punch-cards. To retain a tutoring spot, a new punch-card must be purchased prior to completion of the prior punch-card. If a child is regularly attending tutoring, punch-cards do not expire between semesters. If a child is not regularly attending tutoring (i.e. missed 3 or more meetings in a row), the punch-card expires at the end of a semester.

If a child is absent on the day of 1:1 Literacy Support, the child may schedule a make-up day if canceled more than 24 hours in advance. If a child is absent and the session is cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, the family will be charged for that session.

Click the '+' on your desired registration block(s) to enroll. Review the Online Registration Instructions before enrolling for the best outcome. This includes instructions for creating a Family or Student/Individual account.

Family Accounts are recommended for enrolling multiple children from one family in any UNH Youth Program. If you already have an account in our system, you will be asked to log into either a Family or Student Account after adding the program to your shopping cart. Be sure to use the username and password for the type of account you wish to log into. We recommend attempting to log into the Student or Family account before enrollment opens as this will minimize difficulty and time while enrolling. Email youth.programs@unh.edu if you require assistance recovering your account information. Do not create a new account if you have one already.

If you don't have an account already, you can set up an account at any time, even before you begin the registration process. If creating a student account, the account profile should be in the name of the participating student, but the email should be that of a parent/guardian. Review the Online Registration Instructions before creating a new account.

Arrival/Drop-off: Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to programming so that programming can start on time. Children in grades four and below must be dropped off by an adult.

Late Arrivals: If your child arrives late, please make sure to check your child in face-to-face with a CLC staff member.

Dismissal: All minors must be dismissed to an authorized adult. Please make sure all authorized adults know to have a picture ID for pick-up. The default place for CLC pick-up is the waiting room in the 111 Suite. If you need a different pick-up location, like the parking spots outside of Morrill Hall, contact the organizer of your child’s program.

The UNH Community Literacy Center is located in Suite 109 of Morrill Hall, 62 College Rd., Durham, NH.
