Niagara University Unveils Family Literacy Center
Niagara University’s College of Education held an event Wednesday, April 23, to officially unveil the Family Literacy Center.
The center, which is housed in the university’s Academic Complex, is an on-campus educational opportunity for graduate students to demonstrate teaching while enhancing the literacy performance of at-risk readers and their families. The center’s programs focus on improving reading, writing and listening skills among children while supporting the literacy and basic skills of the family itself.
“The Family Literacy Center is a great asset, not only for our students here at Niagara, but also for the local community as well,” said Debra Colley, Ph.D., dean of Niagara’s College of Education. “Through our programs, we provide evaluation and remediation programs for local P-12 school students in a one-on-one setting. These programs provide students and their families with a plan for future educational support.”
