USF Lakeland Offers Solution to Low FCAT Reading Scores in Highlands and Hardee Counties

LAKELAND, FL (April 18, 2005) - The University of South Florida Lakeland is hosting an Interest Session at South Florida Community College to identify the interest of teachers in Highlands and Hardee counties seeking a Master of Arts in Reading Education. The Interest Session will be held on April 21, 2005 at 5:00 p.m. in the University Center located at SFCC, in Avon Park.

Reading has received nationwide attention as test scores have dropped dramatically in the last few years. Reading is being stressed in schools at every level and this Master's Degree in Reading Education will provide teachers with the tools necessary to teach the fundamentals of reading and reading comprehension. Teachers may also become Kindergarten to 12th grade certified to teach reading. USF Lakeland is pleased to continue offering this degree seeking program at the SFCC University Center and looks forward to a new group of students beginning this program in the Fall of 2005. For more information about the Master's in Reading Education contact Miranda Sloan, Graduate Academic Advisor, at 863-667-7074.
