Center for Reading and Writing

Academic Support

SUNY Adirondack's Center for Reading and Writing (CRW) helps you develop the skills needed for college-level learning.

Visitors can work on any stage of their reading or writing projects — understanding the assignment, brainstorming ideas and proofreading a final draft of a written paper. The CRW is located on the main floor of Scoville Learning Center and at Saratoga Tutoring Center.

The CRW is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday in Queensbury. In Saratoga, it's open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

Services

The Center for Reading and Writing is here to help. Though we recommend scheduling appointments ahead of time, the CRW does also offer drop-in services. If a consultant is available, they can sit down with clients for brief sessions. The busiest times are typically the week before and including midterms and finals, so please plan ahead.

Writing consultants are available to assist with any writing project, at any stage, for any level of writer. From brainstorming to revising and polishing, our consultants are here to support students with their writing goals.

Reading academic texts requires a different skill set than reading fiction. Let our consultants share tips, techniques and skills to make those texts easier to understand.

CRW consultants can assist with outlining, note cards and even practicing. Let us be your audience and provide you with tips and techniques to improve your public speaking.
