About the Belser-Parton Literacy Center
The Center began with an estate bequest in 1972 to support the operations of a reading clinic within the College of Education. The reading clinic was established in memory of Miss Belser’s sister, Dr. Danylu Belser, and Dr. Daisy Parton, both of whom were members of the College’s Elementary Education faculty. The Center ran as a reading clinic for almost two decades, initially directed by Dr. F. L. Westover. The clinic ceased serving children in 1989 during a period of restructuring in the College. New leadership in the College re-established the center in 2006 as one of the University's Research Centers and renamed it the Belser-Parton Literacy Center to recognize the broader aims of the revitalized Center.
The Belser-Parton Literacy Center exists to serve local, state, and national community with the central focus on children and how their literacy needs can best be served through excellent teaching and meaningful research. The center’s areas of focus include community outreach, teacher education, and research and scholarship.
