An After-School Reading and Hands-On Science Program for Fourth Grade Students

The Coalition for Learning Opportunities and United Tutors (CLOUT) Program is a science literacy program that assists fourth grade students attending Colorado Front Range area schools in raising their science reading skills. Volunteers provide "one-on-one" tutoring experience to students on a weekly basis throughout the school year.

The intent of CLOUT is to combine topical reading with related hands-on activities promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency to help improve student reading-comprehension and sustain their reading progress and interest.

Examples of CLOUT activities include:
