Add-on Certification for Reading Specialist

Candidates have the option of obtaining Reading Specialist add-on certification through graduate- level coursework at the University of Holy Cross. The Reading Specialist add-on consists of four graduate-level courses: EDG 611, EDG 655, EDG 656, and EDG 657. The last three courses should be taken in order. Upon successful completion of these courses, candidates may apply to the Louisiana Department of Education for the Reading Specialist certification, if they also hold level two certification and a master's degree from an accredited university or college.
