Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

University literacy clinics serve as dynamic spaces where theory meets practice, fostering student growth, family engagement, and educator advocacy. This symposium brings together three studies examining (1) student achievement within clinic structures, (2) family representation on literacy clinic websites, and (3) the impact of Science of Reading debates on clinic leadership. Together, these studies highlight how literacy clinics navigate pedagogical, institutional, and policy divides, fostering equitable learning and productive action in an evolving educational landscape.
