What do I need to be qualified for reading teacher jobs for elementary or middle school?

Answer by  CarolynOsborne (2804)

Requirements for reading teachers vary from state to state. Probably along with regular certification for the age range that interests you, you will also need to take extra classes in literacy pedagogy. You may also need to take a special test for certification in this field.

In most states, the qualifications for elementary school (which is classified under elementary education) and for middle school (which is classified under secondary education) are different. In either case, you will need to take both a basic skills test (similar to the ACT) proving your knowledge and get a degree from a university.
