Florida teachers now have the option to take the FTCE Reading K-12 test in place of the 300 hours or professional learning courses for the required reading endorsement. Master the FTCE Reading K-12 test prep course has instruction and practice questions on all 9 competencies and 44 skills needed to pass this test. Each competency and skill has been thoroughly researched. They are explained in detail, with practice questions and answer explanations. By taking and passing the FTCE Reading K-12 Exam, teachers will have a professional reading endorsement to a current Florida teaching certificate.
As a hard working teacher who has been through the certification process, I was tired of seeing test prep companies charge high prices for online courses with limited access, so I created this course with unlimited, forever access at a reasonable price. If you would like to have this course in paper format, consider getting the companion book, Master the FTCE Reading K-12, which includes the same instruction, PLUS a full, 120-question practice test with detailed answer explanations, and 175 flash cards for the same price. Find the Master the FTCE Reading K-12 companion book on Amazon and on my website, elainechandler(dot)com. Just look for the orange and blue cover!
