Reading Minor
DEGREE PLANHow do people learn to read? What’s involved in comprehending text? How do you teach children to read? Reading is both an academic and practical field of study which speaks to multiple disciplines. Understanding what reading is, how people learn to read, and the role that reading plays in multiple disciplines is not just for a subject for education and people learning to be teachers, but also for any field interested in children, learning, and how the brain works.
The reading minor is intended to provide students with an understanding of the theory, research, and practical applications related to reading and literacy development and education in pre-K-12 monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual contexts.
