Reading and Language Lab

Anoka Technical College (ATC) has partnered with Metro North Adult Basic Education (ABE) to provide assistance to all learners by establishing a Reading and Language Lab. A Reading Specialist will diagnose your reading needs and provide direction based on your identified needs.  Instruction will be done individually, on the computer, and in small groups.

Students may self-select attendance to individual or small group sessions, or be referred by staff or faculty.

  • Build comprehensionbooks

  • Expand vocabulary
  • Learn to decode multi-syllable words
  • Develop fluency and speed
  • Prepare for demanding college reading
