The Morgridge International Reading Center was established to be a resource for those interested in the art and science of teaching reading. Teachers, school administrators, parents, researchers, policymakers, nonprofit organizations and others who are interested in the education of children can visit the center online or in person to discover and share successful approaches and methods for helping children become better readers. The center will collect and distribute successful reading strategies being used in the country.

The plan is to break ground for the Morgridge International Reading Center building in
Fall 2008 with completion of the building in Fall 2009. In the meantime, focus groups have been held with various stakeholder groups to help establish the vision and mission for the center. Updates to the website will be made periodically to inform you.
