Reading (MA)
Webster’s MA in Reading is one of only a few of its kind recognized nationally and accredited by the International Literacy Association (ILA). Our program is also currently the only one in Missouri that is accredited by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) and the Center for Effective Reading Instruction (CERI).
Our focus is on the science of reading and structured literacy and its application for best practices in the assessment of reading difficulties and instructional methodologies that meet the needs of all learners, including those with dyslexia. Through this program of study you will develop the ability to be a leader in literacy and an advocate for all learners.
