Overview
About the Program
Reading for pleasure makes a big difference when it comes to a child’s performance in the classroom. Students who read every day perform better on tests, develop a broader vocabulary, and gain a better understanding of other cultures. As a reading educator, you’ll foster this love of reading in the classroom and beyond.
The Reading Education program of Vanderbilt University is designed for licensed teachers or those with equivalent teaching experience who want to focus on literacy development, assessment, and instruction of students with diverse learning and literacy needs.
The three-semester program meets the standards of the International Literacy Association for Reading Specialists/Literacy Coaches and National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
