Hello, all. Here's perhaps an odd question from a newbie. I'd appreciate 
anything you could tell me. I teach English at a two-year branch of a state 
university in a very culturally isolated part of the U.S. Ours is the only 
campus in our state where students can apply and gain entrance even if their 
entrance exam scores are low. We offer remedial programs in English and Math 
to help them gain sufficient skill levels to hold their own with fellow 
students. Many students, however, need individual instruction from tutors if 
they are to succeed. We are very interested in beginning an Americorps program 
in reading skills to serve this population, but have found no similar programs 
to use for reference. If you know of any programs designed to offer individual 
literacy training to incoming college freshmen, we'd sure like to hear about 
them. Thanks for your time.
