About the Reading (Education) Program
Develop the knowledge to support literacy growth through Reading (Education) coursework at Texas A&M University–San Antonio. Students explore the science of teaching reading, including oral language, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, while learning strategies for meeting diverse learners’ needs.
Course offerings address early literacy, intermediate and middle school reading, language arts methods, and literacy across subject areas. This coursework supports educator preparation and does not independently confer a degree or teacher certification. Students should consult an academic advisor about prerequisites and course selection.
Career Opportunities
Combined with appropriate degree preparation, certification, and experience, Reading (Education) coursework can support career interests such as:
- Elementary Classroom Teaching
- Middle School Language Arts Teaching
- Literacy Tutoring and Academic Support
- Reading Intervention Support
- Community Literacy Programming
