Reading Endorsement
A Reading Endorsement may be added to any valid Ohio Teaching Certificate/License. Reading Endorsement and major programs require a minimum of 125 clock hours of substantive field experience. These hours are distributed across Education 664, 666 and 667. Student performance in the field is formally evaluated by a college-appointed supervisor. Those applying for the Reading Endorsement must take the PRAXIS II test for reading. Because of the sequential nature of the Reading Endorsement courses, the student should seek the advice of the Education Advisor in the Office of Graduate Programs at the beginning of the Reading Endorsement Program.
