Reading Minor | 18 credits
The reading minor is appropriate for Elementary Education majors who have a strong
interest in the teaching of reading. It provides students who plan to pursue a graduate
program in reading or a related area with additional knowledge about reading pedagogy
prior to advanced coursework.
It also offers additional field experience to increase skills important to the teaching
of reading. Students selecting this minor participate in tutoring and reading camps
that serve children from regional schools. Education majors pursuing the reading minor
also select another minor in an academic content area as required in the Teacher Education
Program.
