Under the direction of Dr. Devery Ward, the clinic provides direct service to children with reading problems.

App State Students
The Anderson Reading Clinic provides the opportunity for education majors to learn to teach reading by "doing it" – by teaching children directly while receiving guidance and constructive feedback from the experienced clinic supervisory staff. The hands-on teaching experience or clinical training is the most effective way to develop effective reading teachers for our public schools.
