UROK LEARNING INSTITUTE CELEBRATES NATIONAL KIDS DAY WITH READING SCHOLARSHIP GIVEAWAY

Join us at Sunday's Tailgate Party at Qualcomm Stadium prior to Padres' Game

San Diego, California - August 2, 2002 - UROK Learning Institute today announced it will give away a full one-on-one 30 hour reading scholarship in honor of National Kids Day, a day to celebrate and honor children by building awareness and encouraging children and adults to spend meaningful time together. Kids Day is a National holiday celebrated each year on the first Sunday in August. It's about celebrating kids - whether it's your sons, daughters, nieces, nephews or any child in need of mentoring. By spending time with kids, mentors help develop a positive self-image and a sense of belonging.

UROK Learning Institute and other businesses across America are supporting this special day to foster relationships between adults and children. Research has shown that parent involvement, especially in activities that directly support their children's school success, is correlated with reading achievement.

"We are delighted to offer this reading scholarship on behalf of National Kids Day, and share the enthusiasm for reading," said Brad Diskin, CEO of UROK Learning Institute. "Parents are the first and most important teachers children have in their lives. Helping them learn to read is one of the greatest gifts that you can give them."

To celebrate and apply for the UROK Learning Institute scholarship valued at $2,250, come to the Qualcomm Stadium from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm prior to the Padres game on Sunday, August 4. The Boys and Girls Clubs of San Diego will host a tailgate celebration with games, food, music and lots more.

UROK offers the Literacy Links reading intervention program to the general public at the company's Mission Valley clinic. This highly structured, 30-hour program provides individual (one-on-one) instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and reading comprehension. Students who complete the three-week program typically improve their reading skills by at least one grade level. Some achieve even more.
