Reading and comprehending written language are
critical skills.
Literacy can empower children and adolescents to
perform daily tasks and navigate life as they grow into adulthood, while
literature can offer insight into other people’s lives that a student may not
have otherwise known—it is a way of passing along important stories and
lessons.
Having the ability to read is also a foundation
for success in virtually every facet of life, both personally and
professionally.
At the University of Iowa College of Education,
reading programs, faculty research, and outreach initiatives are empowering
students and offering them new perspectives. From the Iowa Reading Research Center's
literacy research and reading support services across Iowa and the nation, to
community engagement programs that inspire young students to become successful
citizens, to faculty who are teaching future teachers to become leaders in
reading and literacy education, the College of Education is invested in and
committed to ensuring all students are not only literate, but that they have
the opportunity to learn and grow from what they read.
