Graduate Literacy
A Reading Endorsement Program
“My time at EOU has been great. The program has been invaluable to me and gave me an opportunity to finish my reading endorsement in one academic year, which helped me to land a new job in my building. It’s been so great that I recommend EOU and ReadOregon to anyone who inquires about a reading endorsement.” Amy H. in Illinois
