About the Georgia Reading  Endorsement
This new endorsement area is designed specifically for PreK-12 classroom teachers to help them meet the literacy needs of the students they teach.  Emphases include understanding readers and the reading process, linking assessment and  instruction, and exploring specific instructional strategies which can be applied in individual classroom contexts and the National Reading Panel’s scientifically based research recommendations with attention to phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, reading comprehension, and vocabulary.
