Reading Minor with PK-12 Endorsement

Reading at every level

Share your love of reading with future students by earning a reading minor (PreK-12). This minor will prepare you to teach children’s literature by teaching you about selection and evaluation of books according to reading levels, interests, special needs, and educational objectives. You’ll also be prepared to teach language arts, which integrates reading, writing, speaking and listening into coursework. By the time you finish this minor you will be qualified to teach reading at any grade level. 

Admission requirements

An endorsement is a specialized qualification that can be added to a teaching license, which can authorize you to teach in a particular subject, grade level, or educational setting.

To receive the PK-12 endorsement, you must either:

• Be enrolled in one of DSU's education degree programs that lead to teaching licensure or
• Must already hold a valid primary teaching license.
