The Reading Lab provides remedial instructional services to elementary, middle, and high school students who suffer from reading difficulties. It also provides short training courses for regular students at the university level to develop their reading and study skills. When referring students to the reading lab, the lab staff diagnose students' cases and prepare a reading program that suits the student's reading level and reading needs. The lab specialists help teachers in developing reading curricula, choosing appropriate teaching strategies, informing them of new teaching techniques and instructional materials, preparing in-service training courses, and helping them in administering and correcting reading tests and diagnosing students' strengths and weaknesses. They also meet with the parents and visit them at home to give them an idea about the reading program, discuss their children's reading problems, answer their inquiries, and correct some misconceptions. In addition, the reading lab provides training programs for its staff to raise the level of their work efficiency.
