K-5 Literacy Endorsement
The Arizona legislature recently passed a pair of laws impacting all Arizona pre-service and in-service teachers who provide literacy instruction in grades K-5. Every Arizona teacher who teaches reading in grades K-5 must earn the K-5 Literacy Endorsement.The Endorsement requires:
- 3 credits of coursework in the science of reading (Part A); and
- 3 credits of coursework in teaching struggling readers (Part B); and
- Passing score on the Arizona Foundations of Reading (AEPA 190) exam.
Both classes are fully online and offered Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Part A must be taken before Part B.
