The Language Arts/Reading minor is one of eight recommended by the Department
of Public Instruction and the College of Education and Professional Studies
for Elementary Education majors who must choose a minor. They select this minor
to provide breadth of understanding and skills in English (literature, language
and writing), speech, and reading. Course work will support both the specific
teaching of these areas and also the teaching of other subjects (i.e. reading,
speaking, and writing across the curriculum). Students who choose this minor
should plan their programs with Dr. Nicholas Karolides, adviser for the minor.
