Stewart, who is of-
fering a reading
clinic in North Van-
couver this summer,
works with students
individually to find
out what their
special needs are to
improve their
reading skills. She
says the causes of
reading difficulties
are many and varied,
but through special
testing and work, she
hopes to help those
who need it. Stewart
will be holding the
clinic at Highlands
