The Morgridge International Reading Center is located at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The University of Central Florida is the third largest university in the United States and the largest university in the state of Florida. Current enrollment for the Fall 2009 term exceeded 53,000 students. The main campus in Orlando houses state-of-the-art wireless classrooms along with modern student facilities on 1,415 acres. Every student at UCF has access to school-funded e-mail addresses and the Internet. In fact, the university has been recognized nationally as one of the most “wired” campuses in the nation. The university provides 92 undergraduate degrees programs, 3 specialist, and 24 doctoral programs facilitated by more than 1,600 faculty. With the main campus housed in Orlando, Florida, where there are approximately 132 languages and dialects spoken, UCF is a prime location for the Morgridge International Reading Center.

Our archeological conversation on the Morgridge International Reading Center embarked from a prismatic perspective. Using the prism as a metaphor, the Center draws on and shares the work, knowledge, and experience of many to better serve a national and international field of educators with canons and breakthrough research on literacy acquisition and instruction. While simultaneously acting as a conduit of information and a catalyst for relationships, the Center exists to provide university-based research scholars and school-based practitioner scholars critical and important information as leverage to equip third millennium teachers and students with the de rigueur knowledge and skills. The genealogy of the Center is grounded in sound and well-accepted international theories of learning and instruction. This foundation sets the tone for the Center’s mission and vision by establishing it on an international world-class stage where information, materials, programs, and communication are banked and always available for withdrawals to improve literacy acquisition and instruction at a national and international echelon.
