A Reading Endorsement is a rider a teacher in Florida can earn and add to their certifications. It is required for all reading teachers and now that most schools have the pick of the best during the job shortage, anyone who teaches English really needs to have it.

I decided to go ahead and begin working on mine this spring. It has 5 competency areas and a practicum, and is at least 300 credit hours of work. I recently signed up for one of the competencies in an online cours4e,.

In the meantime, a friend of mine who already has her Reading Endorsement asked me if any of the coursework I did at St. Pete College when I was doing my teacher certification could be applied to the endorsement. I heard back today that I do not have to take competencies 3, 4, and 5 – just 1 and 2, as well as the practicum. I can get all of the coursework out of the way early this summer and all I will have to do this fall is the practicum.

That’s some great news to offset my anxiety about yesterday’s exam results.
