Ulsan Office of Education Launches First Operation of 'Reading Difficulty Student Support Team'

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will operate a support team for students with reading difficulties for the first time starting this summer vacation.

The support team for students with reading difficulties is a project that provides one-on-one Hangul learning programs by directly visiting elementary school lower-grade students who have not yet mastered Hangul during the vacation period.

Students with reading difficulties refer to those who have incomplete mastery of Hangul and require support for reading and writing due to dyslexia or dyslexic symptoms.

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will provide the program twice a week during the vacation, totaling more than 12 sessions. If additional support is needed, it plans to continue support by linking with other programs at the Basic Academic Skills Support Center.

This Hangul learning program will be conducted from mid-July to the end of August based on applications from schools.

Earlier, in December last year, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education and Chunhae Health University signed an agreement to secure support personnel for students with dyslexia and dyslexic symptoms and to provide field training opportunities.

On the 17th, the Office of Education appointed 13 language therapy students from Chunhae Health University as the ‘Support Team for Students with Reading Difficulties’ at Dasan Hall and conducted a preliminary training session to strengthen their capabilities.

An official from the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education said, “Due to the lack of professionals who can support students with reading difficulties, we decided to utilize university majors and students in the region,” and added, “We will strive to organize field training courses in the Department of Language Therapy at Chunhae Health University so that support can also be provided during the semester.”
