KALAMAZOO—After-school literacy tutoring is available for students in kindergarten through eighth grade at the McGinnis Reading Center and Clinic at Western Michigan University.

Tutoring will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. every Thursday, Sept. 27 through Dec. 6, in Room 4511 of Sangren Hall. There is no session Nov. 22.
The program will extend students' knowledge and expertise in reading, writing and critical literacy skills with print and electronic texts.
