Reading specialist candidates will gain a deeper understanding of the literacy needs of adolescent readers and writers across the curricula through this course.

Emphasis will be placed on: word study and techniques for vocabulary devel-opment; reading and responding to a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction texts, including primary sources and digital texts; and reading, writing, and study skills and strategies to support learning across the curricula. This course is required for reading specialist certification.
