Reading Minor with PK-12 Endorsement

Enhance your skills as an educator and develop young readers with a Reading Minor with a PreK-12 Endorsement. This program will prepare you to teach children's literature by focusing on how to select and evaluate books based on reading levels, interests, special needs, and educational objectives. Additionally, you will learn to teach language arts, which integrates reading, writing, speaking, and listening into the curriculum. By the time you complete 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.
