LOCAL READING CLINIC IS OFF TO THE RACES WITH SPONSORSHIP OF DR. SEUSS RACE FOR LITERACY

UROK Learning Institute is a "Great Cat" Sponsor of the San Diego Council of Literacy Event.

San Diego, California - March 21, 2002 - UROK Learning Institute today announced that it is a "Great Cat" contributor to the Dr. Suess Race for Literacy, which is organized by the San Diego Council on Literacy.

"With the President's recent signing of the 'No Child Left Behind Act,' the Dr. Suess Race for Literacy is a timely event for focusing attention on the importance of improving our children's reading skills," said Alex Urbano, President of UROK Learning Institute. "When 38 percent of the nation's 8-year olds cannot read at grade level, there is a definite need to raise awareness of the literacy problem and to make people aware of the local resources available to help overcome reading difficulties."

The Dr. Suess Race for Literacy features two races, offering a weekend of running and walking for the entire community. A Kids' Magic Mile race will be held on Saturday, May 4. The 8K race is scheduled for Sunday, May 5. Both races will be held at Balboa Park in San Diego.

UROK Learning Institute will have a booth at the pre-race expo at Road Runner Sports where they will have information about the UROK reading clinic and the Literacy Links™ program, which offers one-on-one instruction in phonemic awareness.
