WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Have you encountered students who have difficulty reading but weren't sure how to best help them? The P-12 Reading Endorsement offers classes grounded in the Science of Reading that help you better understand how to support students who struggle and move those who are grade level and above toward even higher literacy goals. Through evidence-based instruction and practical application, you'll gain the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful difference in your students' literacy development.

What You Can Teach

The P-12 Reading Endorsement (along with a passing Praxis score) will allow you to:

  • Build stronger literacy skills in your P-12 classroom through research-based instructional practices
  • Give you alternate strategies to use with students during intervention instruction
  • Deepen your understanding of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
  • Qualify you to become a reading specialist and take on leadership roles in literacy education
