About the Program

The Reading Specialist Certificate Program is designed for teachers who already possess an Instructional I certificate in PA or another State who has a desire to become literacy coach, a literacy program/curriculum consultant (for a school, literacy center, etc.), a reading intervention specialist, or to supplement existing knowledge/skills in developing expertise as a reading instructor. The program is designed for teachers who want to obtain another certification as a Reading Specialist. Students completing Drexel's Reading Specialist program would also become eligible to obtain the Wilson Language Instruction Level 1 by the Wilson Language Corporation. Through reciprocity agreements among the states, graduates can transfer their certification in almost any state across the United States.
