Reading Minor

This minor satisfies the endorsement for reading. The reading minor, with campus and field experiences, is designed to prepare reading teachers and strengthen background preparation of elementary teachers. Because EDRD 308 is a prerequisite for five required courses (EDRD 410, EDRD 411, EDRD 412, EDRD 413 and EDRD 493) and EDRD 309 is a prerequisite for four required courses (EDRD 410, EDRD 412, EDRD 413 and EDRD 493), the minor should be commenced in the junior year. *EDRD 493 also requires permission of the department (designated as the instructor of EDRD 493). Permission will not be granted until four required courses in the reading minor, excluding prerequisite courses, are completed or will be completed the quarter prior to enrollment.
