Summer Reading Program

Salt Lake Community College is working with the Institute of Reading Development to offer a summer reading program for those entering or enrolled in elementary, middle and high school.




This program develops and improves reading skills as well as encourages a lifelong love of learning. Students are taught the essential phonics and comprehension skills required to become a fluent reader, improve reading comprehension, or learn how to speed read. This program can also help improve vocabulary, study skills, preparation for tests, and retention techniques.

Classes will be held at SLCC's Jordan, Miller and Taylorsville Redwood campuses throughout the summer.

Each program meets once per week for five weeks. Tuition costs $269 ($199 for four year-olds and entering Kindergarteners) with a materials fee of $34 dollars. Classes for the younger students meet for one hour fifteen minutes, classes for older students range between two and two-and-a-half hours.

    I did a similar thing when I was in elementary school. Can't say anything bad about this. Reading is better then watching TV, playing video games, or about anything else a school aged child can do. college bedding for girls

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the  Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the  Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education  for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning.  Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)  allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment.
