The
purpose of the program is to help parents and students get
on the right track to college. CKL believes that it is critical
to broaden a child's view about higher education as early as
7th grade in order to avoid the pitfalls of waiting until 11th
grade to consider becoming actively involved in preparing for
college. The College Trakker program consists of participating
in practice ACT/SAT tests, attending college fairs, touring
college and university campuses and examining test preparation
options for the PSAT, ACT and SAT. The College Trakker Program
also assist students and their parents find and examine summer
programs throughout the country and abroad. Weekend FCAT tutoring
for 2nd and 3rd graders After School Tutoring and Homework
Help.
CKL provides after-school tutoring and homework help for children
and parents.
Because parental involvement is a key factor in the workings
of the Reading Room, parents and/or guardians must be prepared
to play an integral role in their child's participation in
any programs that are offered.
