About
LC State’s K-12 literacy endorsement is recognized by the state of Idaho as authorization to teach reading at any grade level from kindergarten through 12th grade.
This endorsement is a valuable addition to all teaching majors at both the elementary and secondary levels. Educators will learn to work more effectively with struggling readers in their own classrooms, as well as to encourage reading development and enrichment among all students.
In this program, students will:
- Be endorsed to teach reading at any grade level from kindergarten through 12th grade.
- Learn how to serve as a reading resource and consultant on reading improvement.
- Learn strategies for working effectively with struggling readers.
- Apply practice through supervised practicums with a wide variety of readers.
The Reading Specialist (#5206) Praxis II exam is required for a literacy endorsement.
