Reading/literacy

This field of study is designed for education professionals who are interested in adding to their knowledge and skills in the increasingly important area of literacy development.

Both the reading licensure program and M.Ed. in literacy education will develop leadership skills as well as content skills, enabling those individuals who complete either program to work as literacy leaders in their buildings and districts as well as work effectively with children in their respective classrooms.

Additional licensure program in reading (K-12)

A team of faculty members in the College’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction, all of whom are experts in the field of literacy, have developed this program and its coursework. It complements other literacy efforts across the College, including the Reading First grant activities and other critical literacy programs.
