Structured Literacy
The certificate program in structured literacy is accredited through the International Dyslexia Association and is designed for teachers, reading specialists, speech language pathologists, and others who work with children in literacy. The 7-credit program provides the skills necessary to implement systematic, explicit multisensory phonics instruction to children with dyslexia and other reading differences. This certificate is offered at the graduate level.
Candidates learn to administer assessments and plan developmentally appropriate structured literacy instruction for children through a practicum-based experience. After completion of the coursework and the field-based practicum, completion of the KPEERI exam is required. All coursework in the structured literacy certificate program is applicable to the reading specialist program.
