Graduate Literacy Program

Education Promotion

"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

Eastern Oregon University offers a TSPC approved graduate reading course of study. If you hold an Initial or Continuing license, you must complete the coursework (including a practicum) and pass the PRAXIS Reading Specialist exam in order to add the reading endorsement to your license. If you have a Basic or Standard License, please consult with an advisor. Course work in the endorsement program may be applied to a Master’s of Science degree in Education.

All courses of the graduate literacy program are offered online through “Blackboard,” an internet “classroom.” You can complete the EOU graduate literacy program wherever you are located. Course Offerings

EOU also participates in ReadOregon (formerly CREADE). All the courses in EOU's graduate literacy program count toward the ReadOregon program. In addition, EOU offers several classes with READ prefixes that are part of the ReadOregon program. To learn more about ReadOregon you can go to www.readoregon.org.

Whether you decide to pursue the endorsement through EOU ’s course of study or that of ReadOregon, you should fill out the ReadOregon application form. This gives you access to up-to-date information about course offerings and makes you eligible for tuition assistance, if any is available.
