About the Program

The Online Graduate Certificate in Early Reading Intervention prepares elementary and special education teachers to identify and support learners who need reading assistance. By gaining skills in literacy assessment, intervention, and evidence-based reading instruction, educators can strengthen early literacy outcomes for students in grades PreK–3.

Through coursework grounded in the science of reading, you’ll develop expertise in literacy development, assessment, intervention design, and evidence-based instructional strategies to help students build strong reading skills.

Childcare centers, elementary schools, community organizations, and other agencies have signaled a growing demand for professionals equipped to intervene early to support young children as they learn to read.
