Reading Literacy MAED

Strong literacy skills are essential building blocks for students to succeed in school, and in all aspects of their lives. Teachers who are highly qualified in the area of language arts are in high demand as literacy expectations continue to increase. The Reading Literacy specialization serves to strengthen a teacher's competency, making them extremely valuable in the area of reading proficiency.

This program prepares experienced teachers to assess reading literacy, as well as develop, plan and implement reading programs to assist the diverse needs and abilities of students. Courses can be completed online or in the traditional classroom setting.

Upon earning a Master’s in Education degree with a focus in Reading Literacy, graduates often go on to be reading specialists, literacy coaches, or classroom teachers. 

Candidates completing the Master's in Reading Literacy can also be working toward the Reading Endorsement. Additional information on the Reading Endorsement.
