Literacy Centers
Through its Literacy Centers, Cardinal Stritch University aims to provide access to functional, lifetime literacy for all K-12 students in Milwaukee, regardless of cultural, economic, linguistic, or biological factors.
Services
The Literacy Centers offer comprehensive literacy assessment and intervention services for students in grades K-12.
We have helped students succeed since 1943, through applying research-based strategies tailored to their strengths, needs, and ongoing progress.
Locations
Our services have expanded to offer two additional urban sites, with one more to open in 2011:
- Stritch main campus | 6801 N. Yates Road, Milwaukee
- Stritch City Center | 1037 W. McKinley Ave., Milwaukee
- Townsend School | 3360 N. Sherman Blvd., Milwaukee
- South Side | Location TBA
Individualized Attention
The program offers individualized intervention plans built from research-based best practices in phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, writing and study skills. All students are taught in groups of 1-3 by graduate literacy professionals or Stritch undergraduate and graduate students.
All curriculum is based on basic literacy instruction and engaged motivation, through inspiring self-confidence and success as a reader.
