Academic Literacy Center
Islip Arts Building, Room 116
All college majors have one thing in common; there is a lot of reading required.
A strong foundation in literacy is essential for success in the classroom and in the
workplace. In the Academic Literacy Center, we provide SCCC students with the strategies
they need to become confident and effective readers. We can help with any type of
text, regardless of the subject area. Whether you need assistance with reading comprehension,
vocabulary development, note-taking, study strategies, or time management we tailor
tutoring sessions to meet your individual needs.
Drop-in tutoring and academic advisement hours are listed below.
Also, check out our workshop series below!
Reading Lab Courses
Students taking reading courses complete the lab component of their course in the
Academic Literacy Center using the Connect Reading program. This program provides
an individualized curriculum that targets specific needs and allows for independent
reading practice. Lab instructors provide support and assistance during lab classes.
Tutoring
Reading tutoring, with a focus on metacognitive reading strategies, is available to
current students on the Ammerman Campus through the Academic Literacy Center during
drop-in hours.
Academic Advisement
Academic advisement in the Academic Literacy Center is available for all current Reading,
College Seminar, and Education students on the Ammerman Campus.
If you need help building your schedule for the upcoming semester stop by the Academic
Literacy Center during drop-in tutoring/advising hours.
Workshops
We offer periodic workshops for Ammerman Campus students on topics like active reading
skills and time management during the fall and spring semesters.
Other Services for Students
Please feel free to stop by our center during open hours if you need a quiet place
to study or if you need to use a computer. We have a library of books and literacy
resources for students to use as well.
