Reading programs offered The Rutgers University Division of Continuing Studies will offer eight different reading skills programs for fouryear-olds through adults this summer in Midland Park. Tuition and materials fees vary by program level. Reading programs for younger students can build comprehension as students learn the phonics and fluency skills they need to become strong readers. Programs for older students and adults are geared toward improving comprehension and study skills, vocabulary, and speed reading. Skills taught in the classes reinforce the importance of reading for pleasure and developing a life-long love of books. The early summer session will begin the week of June 18, and a late summer session will begin the week of July 24. These programs have been offered through the Rut- gers University Division of Continuing Studies since 2003. Classes are taught by instructors from the Institute of Reading Development.
