Programs for educators who want to teach reading using highly effective, research-based methods.
Program Options:
- requiring 15 credit hours
- requiring 18 credit hours
- requiring 21 credit hours
- requiring a total of 33 credit hours
Program Highlights
- Designed for the working professional, the Mount’s Reading Science programs are convenient to an educators’s schedule and available fully online.
- All four options require the same core courses. Students can complete the Ohio reading endorsement in less than one year, then choose to continue studies to earn the dyslexia certificate and/or master’s degree.
- The Mount’s programs use a scientifically-based reading research model. Coursework includes an Orton-Gillingham Structured Literacy Practicum. Through our programs students learn instructional approaches to teach reading, writing and spelling using an explicit, sequential, structured language approach.
