The Reading Endorsement Program, developed according to the Ohio Department of Education standards provides an in-depth knowledge base related to the theories, practice, pedagogy, and technology in the field of reading education. Completion of the Reading endorsement requires 18 semester hours of reading coursework, in addition to achieving a passing score on the Praxis II reading examination. Adding the Reading Endorsement to an Ohio teaching license will allow educators to teach reading across the grade levels (K-12) and to teach reading within one's teaching licensure grade bands. This endorsement does not allow educators to teach English Language Arts or English as a Second Language.
