    Reading Specialist Information Session

    Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at 5:00 PM until 5:30 PMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00

    Join us to learn more about the Reading Specialist program at RMU! 

    The reading specialist program provides teachers with a comprehensive background in literacy. Through a blend of evening coursework and a 3-credit practicum with ELL or students with special needs at RMU’s on-site clinic under the direct supervision of an instructor, candidates are fully prepared for the Praxis exam and certification as reading specialists from the Pennsylvania Department of Education. This certificate is offered at the graduate level.

    The program can be taken as a standalone or combined with three additional courses for an M.Ed. in Literacy.  This program has earned Accreditation Plus™ through the International Dyslexia Association. Students can also add the Dyslexia Interventionist Credential to their program.

    Tuition scholarships are available for the Reading Specialist program.
