Reading Minor
A K-12 Reading Minor is offered through the Department of
Teacher Education. Students should note that reading courses
required for elementary or secondary teacher certification
do not count toward a reading minor. A reading minor, within
the catalogue for 1998-1999, does lead to state reading
endorsement certification if it is completed by the end of
the Spring 2001 semester. Contact an advisor (Gina Woods) or
elementary reading specialists (Dr. Verlinda Angell or Dr.
David Lund) or secondary program director (Dr. Karen Atwood)
for more information. Starting with the Fall 2002 semester,
reading minor classes are only offered once every two years,
so plan accordingly. (Note the change in prefixes from ELED
and EDUC to EDRG and that courses are linked to recent
syllabi where possible.)

reading minor if you entered teacher educatio AND completed
ELED 3520 or EDUC 3720 prior to May 5, 2000 AND you
completed your full reading minor by the end of the Spring
2001 semester.
Finally, starting with the Fall 2001 semester, some of
the reading minor classes are now offered via EDNET. This is
in an effort to both streamline the program and provide
coursework for those people living in outlying areas who
wish to pursue an elementary education degree with an
emphasis in reading.
