other teachers. The Master Reading Teacher Certificate has been implemented as part of the
Texas Reading Initiative to ensure that all Texas students are reading on grade level by the end
of the third grade and that the reading knowledge and skills grow throughout their public
school careers.
The MRTC may be obtained in two ways:
1. An individual who holds a Reading Specialist Certificate must complete an SBEC
approved Master Reading Teacher preparation program.
2. An individual must have a teaching certificate, at least three years of teaching experi-
ence, completed an SBEC approved Master Reading Teacher program, and pass the
Master Reading Teacher Certification Exam.
At Hardin-Simmons, the master reading teacher candidate must complete nine designated
semester hours of reading instruction. Courses are READ 6308, 6307, and 6309. These nine
hours may be applied to the Reading Specialist Education Master of Education degree if the
candidate pursues this master's degree upon completion of the MRTC. The program director for
the Reading Specialist graduate degree and MRTC will advise the candidate appropriately.
Gifted and Talented Supplemental Certificate
The Gifted and Talented Supplemental Certificate replaces the previous Gifted Education
Endorsement to a teacher certificate. Individuals seeking this certification must hold a Texas
teacher's certificate. To be recommended for gifted certification, an individual must complete
