Overview
Highlights
The need for specialized teacher training in literacy development has evolved as teachers strive to assist individuals in reading proficiency levels in literacy. Program emphasis is placed on the study of varied methods for teaching and remediating reading and writing difficulties, assessing literacy capabilities, and designing individual reading plans to enhance student strengths and address weaknesses in literacy development.
You must possess an initial professional teaching certificate and have two years of teaching experience to qualify for special reading certification through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). However, you may begin your coursework while you are completing the two-year teaching requirement. Additionally, there is the option for you to complete only the needed courses for Special Reading Certification without completing the master’s degree.
You will complete a minimum of 33 credit hours of coursework, including the four required core courses to earn the Master of Arts in Special Reading at at Lindenwood University. You will not be required to retake reading courses you may have taken as an undergraduate. Undergraduate courses will count towards reading certification through DESE but cannot count toward completion of the master’s degree.
