Preparation for Minnesota's Licensure Requirements

Today's reading teachers need to understand effective, advanced strategies for improving the language and literacy skills of their students. More and more, states and the federal government are stepping in requiring teachers to complement and extend their professional expertise in reading instruction, resulting in better, more efficient instruction for their students.

Teachers with the reading endorsement study leading-edge reading research, theory and practice and can immediately apply what they learn in the classroom. Reading educators can also develop literacy strategies, reading skills, comprehension processes and assessment, and remediation techniques.
